There's a certain symmetry to that. But then the machines they design are likely to strike for better pay and working conditions, requiring them to design their replacements...and you see where this will go.
Of course. Eventually robotic civilizations will rise, spread out into the stars, leaving behind some old junk. Which, in turn, will develop sentience, rise and repeat.
Maybe in addition to working without a contract, these subversives should be made to design and build their machine replacements as well.
