Last week, workers held sit-in protests at Google's offices in both New York and Sunnyvale, California.

The protests were organized by the group No Tech For Apartheid, who said that 30 workers were fired following the initial sit-in.

.

According to Jane Chung, a spokeswoman for No Tech For Apartheid, Google has now fired "over 20" more workers, “including non-participating bystanders during last week’s protests.”.

Google’s aims are clear: the corporation is attempting to quash dissent, silence its workers, and reassert its power over them, Jane Chung, a spokeswoman for No Tech For Apartheid, via 'The Independent'.

In its attempts to do so, Google has decided to unceremoniously, and without due process, upend the livelihoods of over 50 of its own workers, Jane Chung, a spokeswoman for No Tech For Apartheid, via 'The Independent'.

Google has disputed the group's claims, stressing that the company carefully found that, “every single one of those whose employment was terminated was personally and definitively involved in disruptive activity inside our buildings.”
