You assume the cognizant employees are privy to the contract terms.

That could be the case, in any case it wouldn’t be Google fault, but Cognizant.

I would never sign a contract without knowing the details.

Cognizant employees don’t sign a contract. They are W2 employees, who are “contracted out” to other companies. The contract is between Cognizant and the third party. The employee literally never sees it.

That’s not true. When they sign to work with a client, they’re given an initial end date. Worked with many of them throughout the years.

They have a contract with their employer, though. The problem here is not contracting, it’s this stupid at-will employment that allows this to happen

I can’t believe it’s controversial to say you should read a contract before you sign it.

The important part here is your signally that you do not side with workers. You are a class traitor. How you justify it does not matter.
