US labour board alleges Google retaliated against activists


According to the regional director, Google broke the law by questioning and terminating employees because of their activism, maintaining rules restricting legally protected organising, and enforcing other rules in a discriminatory manner. — Bloomberg

Google illegally fired, interrogated and surveilled activist employees, a regional director of the US National Labor Relations Board alleged in a complaint on Dec 2.

The complaint, issued on behalf of the agency’s general counsel, accuses the Alphabet Inc unit of violating the New Deal law that protects employees’ right to engage in collective action about workplace issues, including non-union workers like Google’s.
