Four Google employees who were fired on November 25 after participating in organizing efforts at the company say they will file unfair labor practice complaints with the National Labor Review Board (NLRB). The fired employees claim that Google likely illegally retaliated against them for “engaging in protected labor organizing.”

Last week, Google fired the four workers, Laurence Berland, Rebecca Rivers, Paul Duke, and Sophie Waldman, “for clear and repeated violations of our data security policies,” according to an internal memo reviewed by The New York Times . The firings and subsequent unfair labor complaints are yet another instance of escalating tensions between employees and management at the tech giant.
