‘We’re Just Getting the Crumbs Here’: Contractors Protest Layoffs at Meta’s European Headquarters

Meta contractors employed by Dublin-based Covalen, who perform content moderation and AI data labeling, struck outside Meta's European headquarters protesting planned layoffs. Workers say they're receiving minimal severance (two weeks per year of employment, with none for those under two years) compared to Meta's full-time employees, and are demanding double the payout plus release from a six-month non-compete cooldown period.
