Google workers fired amid organization efforts file retaliation complaint

Four former employees who say Google fired them in retaliation for their efforts to organize co-workers are planning legal action against the company.

Those topics include protesting Google's work with US immigration enforcement agencies and the Department of Defense and protesting Google's work with the Chinese government, as well as a massive walkout of 20,000 Google employees last year to protest the company's handling of sexual harassment allegations against senior executives.

Berland, Duke, Rivers, and Waldman are not the first high-visibility Google employees to claim their employer acted in a retaliatory fashion.
