    Tell Google to withdraw legal filings that undermine workers’ rights!

    Petition to Google:
    We are aware of your behind-the-scenes legal filings to undermine the rights of workers in the workplace and demand that you immediately withdraw these filings with the NLRB.

    Google likes to talk big about supporting their workers, but behind the scenes in legal filings to the NLRB, Google consistently works to roll back workers’ rights.1

    In a recent NLRB case, Google is arguing to roll back Obama-era protections that allow workers to use their work email accounts to talk about unionizing, circulate political petitions, and organize workplace protests.

    Tell Google to stop undermining workers’ rights and withdraw their legal filings with the NLRB.

    Google employees have played a pivotal role in holding the tech giant accountable. They’ve organized work walkouts to protest sexual harassment and used petitions to pressure Google to back out of dangerous government contracts like Project Maven.2

    But Google management wants all this to stop, and they’re willing to roll back Obama-era worker protections to do it.

    It’s time to take a stand to support Google employees working hard to hold their employer accountable. Tell Google to withdraw their legal filings with the NLRB to undermine the rights of workers.
