The complaint, seen by Reuters, will trigger a National Labor Relations Board investigation into whether Google violated the four individuals’ right to raise concerns about working conditions. When violations are found in such cases, the NLRB typically tries to help accusers and companies reach a settlement.
The CWA union, which represents 700,000 workers across several industries in North America, has been trying to organize workers at Google, said Laurie Burgess, an attorney at Messing Adam & Jasmine who worked on the NLRB filing. Google investigated and fired the four named employees “to discourage and chill employees from engaging in protected concerted and union activities,” the filing states. “Its actions are the antithesis of the freedoms and transparency it publicly touts.”
