I would be surprised if Accenture wasn’t pretty upset by this as well. Not a great selling point for potential clients: go with our contractors and they just might join your employees union!
From my experience with Accenture they use no contractors, they just contract out their own employees? From my understanding you wouldn't call that contracting, that's just regular employment. Contracting implies to me somebody like a freelancer signing a contract for a specific project or term etc.
