Following protests over its involvement in supplying technology to the Israeli government, Google has terminated the employment of more than 50 individuals. The company asserts that the fired employees were directly engaged in disruptive activities within its offices. However, the group organizing the protests, No Tech For Apartheid, disputes this claim, alleging that Google is attempting to stifle dissent and assert its authority.
Google has fired more than 20 additional workers after employee sit-ins last week. The group organizing the protests alleges the firings are retaliation against employees who participated or were present during the protests. Google has confirmed the terminations, stating that the employees were involved in disruptive activities during the protests. This brings the total number of employees fired to approximately 50. The protests were in response to Google’s policies and relationships, including its work with Amazon and its perceived lack of support for employees who have spoken out. The company has also terminated employees who criticized its relationships with the Israeli military.
