Another Google employee added her name to a list of workers who say they were fired for legally advocating for labour rights inside the company.
Kathryn Spiers, 21, said she was fired December 13 after she developed a notification that told colleagues they had the right to participate in labour organising when they visited the website of IRI Consultants, a firm that advises employers on how to combat unions.
The New York Times recently reported that Google hired IRI and Spiers’ notification said “Googlers have the right to participate in protected concerted activities.†It also included a link to a list of employee rights and protections that Google agreed to post as part of a settlement with National Labour Relations Board.
