Google fires more workers over in-office protests

Google has completed a second round of terminations linked to the anti-Israel demonstrations held at the tech giant's offices last week.

After protesters took over Google's corporate offices in New York, Seattle and Sunnyvale, California, on April 16 in 10-hour sit-ins, the company fired 28 workers the next day. This week, they fired more following an investigation into the incidents.

According to "No Tech for Apartheid," the activist campaign led by tech workers behind the protests, a total of 50 Google employees have now been let go by the company over the sit-ins.

No Tech for Apartheid claimed in a blog post that some of the fired Google workers were "non-participating bystanders during last week’s protests."

Google on Tuesday confirmed in a statement to FOX Business that the company fired more workers linked to the demonstrations, and insisted those who were terminated were participants.
