It started when some employees of the tech giant protested outside its headquarters in San Francisco over the suspension of two activist employees, Rebecca Rivers and Laurence Berland, who were put on leave for — what some employees are arguing — speaking out against the company.  > Since the protests, both Google employees have been fired, as well as two others involved. In response, the fired Googlers, the ‘thanksgiving four,’ filed labor charges against the tech giant accusing the company of letting them go for engaging in protected labor organizing, and the US National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has officially started a new investigation into the company’s labor practices.
