> "With these firings, Google is ramping up its illegal retaliation against workers engaging in protected organizing,"

Did these 4 google employees engage in the protest?

If their conducts (e.g. accessing other employees' calendars and sharing information about their whereabouts with outside sources) violate the company policy, then they should be let go independent of their involvement in the protest.

Apparently, some folks now think that participating in a protest against your employer gives you permission to break that employer's rules of conduct, and even to continue breaking the rules after being told not to.

Unless someone has some evidence beyond what is actually being said here, I fail to see how this is retaliation for anything.

Frankly, if a coworker of mine was calendar stalking me and posting publicly where you could find me to harass me, I'd be pretty damned angry if the employer didn't fire the offender, and my reading of the article is that that's what is being alleged.

Nowhere does it say they were let go due to a protest.
