Google has fired another 20+ employees since the internal protest over the company’s Israeli defense contract, organizers say.
The firings included “non-participating bystanders,” according to Jane Chung, a spokesperson for No Tech for Apartheid. Google initially fired 28 employees after last week’s protest against Project Nimbus, a $1.2 billion defense contract. The sit-in lasted for eight hours before nine employees were arrested.
Chung said in an email to The Verge that these additional firings bring the total to over 50. We’ve reached out to Google for comment.
