Trade union Unite, which counts hundreds of Google’s UK employees among its members, says the company had ignored concerns put forward by employees.
LONDON, United Kingdom – Hundreds of Google employees staged a walkout at the company’s London offices on Tuesday, April 4, following a dispute over layoffs., equivalent to 6% of its global workforce.
“Our members are clear: Google needs to listen to its own advice of not being evil,” said Unite regional officer Matt Whaley. “It has been difficult for those involved. We have a redundancy process for a reason, so that employees can make their voice heard,” they said. “But it feels as if our concerns have fallen on deaf ears.”
