The NLRB has begun confirming what we’ve said all along:
“Google violated US labor laws by spying on workers who were organizing employee protests, then firing two of them, according to a complaint to be filed by the National Labor Relations Board today.

“Google violated US labor laws by spying on workers who were organizing employee protests, then firing two of them, according to a complaint to be filed by the National Labor Relations Board today.

“The complaint names two employees, Laurence Berland and Kathryn Spiers, both of whom were fired by the company in late 2019 in connection with employee activism. ...
“Berland was organizing against Google working w/ IRI Consultants, a firm widely known for its anti-union efforts, when he was let go for reviewing other employees’ calendars. The NLRB found Google’s policy against employees looking at certain coworkers’ calendars is unlawful. ..
“Google’s hiring of IRI is an unambiguous declaration that management will no longer tolerate worker organizing. Management & their union busting cronies wanted to send that message, & the NLRB is now sending their own message: worker organizing is protected by law.” - @laurenceb
Spiders was fired (illegally as per NLRB) after she created a pop-up (“Googlers have the right to participate in protected concerted activities”) for Google employees visiting the IRI Consultants site. Google said @computerfemme violated security policies, hurting her reputation.

[“Spiders” should say “Spiers.” Sorry Kathryn!]
