The National Labor Relations Board has opened an investigation into Google After the firing of the so-called “Thanksgiving Four” — Google employees who were prominent in their attempts to organize a labor union before Google terminated them days before the Thanksgiving holiday — a spokesperson confirmed to Digital Trends.
In a statement after their firings, the four alleged they had been let go for “engaging in protected labor organizing.”
When asked for comment, Google provided a rehash of the statement it sent out when the news originally broke about the firings: The company said the individuals that were terminated “were engaged in intentional and often repeated violations of our long-standing data security policies, including systematically accessing and disseminating other employees’ materials and work. No one has been dismissed for raising concerns or debating the company’s activities.”
