Google Fires 4 Workers Active in Labor Organizing nytimes.com/2019/11/25/technol

"In the memo, Google said the fired employees had repeatedly searched for, looked through and distributed information “outside the scope of their jobs.” One of the workers set up notifications to receive emails detailing the work and whereabouts of other employees without their knowledge or consent, the memo said."
...
"The Tech Workers Coalition, an advocacy group, said on Twitter on Monday that the four employees had been fired for “organizing at work” and encouraged workers at Google to “speak out against this draconian act.” "

It seems like other Google employees, those who have been vocal on this, are on the side of those who were fired. They held a rally last week to protest actions taken against two of the people who were fired (video here: alphabetworkers.org/videos/).

I only just learnt of the events that apparently led up to this. Has anyone here been following the story?
