Google fires fifth activist employee

Another Google employee says she has been fired for labor advocacy after creating a notification that reminded colleagues of their rights to organize, Bloomberg reports. Kathryn Spiers marks the fifth Googler to say they have been terminated for such reasons, following the “Thanksgiving Four” who were let go last month. A Google spokeswoman said the most recent termination was a result of misusing a security and privacy tool to create the pop-up. The search giant is under investigation from the National Labor Relations Board for allegedly discouraging unions.
