Google joins the Evil Empire

Here's Robert Reich's FB post (copied below) on this article.

"Just days ago, Google hired a consulting firm known for its union-busting work. And now, Google has fired four employees that were actively involved in labor organizing, under the guise of 'data security breaches.' Two of these workers were also actively involved in circulating a petition among Google employees asking the company not to pursue a contract with Customs and Border Protection; the two employees also voiced concerns about the company’s hiring of former Department of Homeland Security official, Miles Taylor.

"Google was once the standard-bearer of an open and collaborative workplace between employees and executives. Now it is following the lead of other major corporations seeking to hoard power away from workers. As employees have become more vocal about the company’s treatment of contract workers, its handling of sexual harassment cases, and its shady contracts with government agencies, Google has become increasingly more draconian as it cracks down on its workers. I stand in solidarity with all the Google employees using their voice and standing up for their right to unionize."
