Google fires union activists

New York, December 3 (RHC)-- In the U.S., the National Labor Relations Board has accused Google of illegally firing several workers who were trying to organize a union or protest the company’s policies. The NLRB also accused Google of interrogating and spying on its workers. 

Part of the crackdown at Google targeted workers who organized protests over the company’s handling of sexual harassment allegations and over Google’s work with U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

In other labor news, unions and Democrats are condemning the move by President Trump and Republicans to freeze the pay of federal workers.  Trump previously supported a meager 1% pay increase for federal workers but is now backing a Republican funding bill that offers no raise for over 2 million executive branch workers. 

The American Federation of Government Employees said in a statement: “The wage freeze proposal is a cruel slap in the face to those who have risked their lives to maintain government services for all Americans during the worst health crisis in our lifetimes.”
