Google fires 28 employees after protests against projects with Israel

He also issued a warning to workers, because although he noted that the majority of employees “do the right thing, if you are one of the few who is tempted to think that we are going to overlook conduct that violates our policies, think again ” he wrote in a response to The Verge.

For their part, the protesters, through the group “No Tech for Apartheid”, mentioned that the dismissal of their colleagues represented a “flagrant act of retaliation”, since during the three years in which they had organized against the Nimbus Project, No executive has heeded their concerns.

“Google workers have the right to peacefully demonstrate about the terms and conditions of our work. These firings were clearly retaliation,” the group behind the protests wrote.

In this regard, the protesters said they requested to speak with Thomas Kurian, but the request was denied. They even noted that in the last three years they have tried to interact with executives through company channels, including forums and petitions signed by more than 1,000 workers, but have received no response.
