Kathryn Spiers says Google terminated her after she created a browser tool to notify employees of their organizing rights.
[...] Back in September, Google reached a settlement with the NLRB over earlier alleged violations of federal labor law. Under the settlement, Google was required to post a list of employee rights in its Mountain View headquarters.
[...] So when Google hired a consulting company known for its anti-union work, Spiers wrote a notification that would appear whenever Google employees visited the firm's website. The notification stated that "Googlers have the right to participate in protected concerted activities." That's a legal term of art for worker organizing efforts. It also included a link to the worker rights notification mandated by the NLRB settlement.
[...] Two weeks later, on December 13, Spiers was fired.
[...] The complaint argues that her firing was an "attempt to quell Spiers and other employees from asserting their right to engage in concerted protected activities."

Seems like a pattern of abuse to me. Just not necessarily by the employees.

aristarchus subs are never enough
What would the S/N editors do if the frantic rejection of aristachus'es subs were to thin out? Or, $DEITY forbid, cease entirely?
Why do you hate them and wish them to lose their entire sense of living and supreme purpose in life?

Please do not put questions into a post. Some of us believe everything we read and it is difficult to tell whether your post means we should vote for Democrats or Republicans when you do that.
