At least 48 Google workers have been fired for 'disruptive' protests of the company's cloud contracts with Israel.
Google fired at least 20 more employees on Monday evening related to the April 16 sit-in protests of the company’s cloud computing contracts with Israel, No Tech For Apartheid organizers tell Gizmodo . Google confirmed the additional firings in a statement, noting the company has concluded its investigation of the sit-in. In total, 48 Google employees were fired for allegedly “disrupting” its offices, nine of whom were arrested for trespassing.
Protestors have questioned Google’s role in the AI warfare Israel reportedly engages in, however, no such evidence exists at this time. Google tells Gizmodo every single terminated employee was “personally and definitively involved in disruptive activity inside our buildings.” The company also listed “bullying” and “harassment” as reasons for the 48 firings. However, No Tech For Apartheid disputes this.
