We contacted Google about the lawsuit and will update this article if we get a response. The plaintiffs are seeking financial damages. The plaintiffs also allege that Google violated California labor law by restricting their political activities, specifically by 'interrogating and subsequently terminating the employment of plaintiffs for speaking out about and objecting to Google's involvement in contracting with the Trump administration's CBP and ICE agencies to provide goods and services.' The fired employees were allegedly 'harmed by their reliance upon Google's representation that Google employees were entitled, and required to 'call out' Google for engaging in action that they believed violated its 'Don't be evil' code of conduct.' Advertisement Plaintiffs вЂњharmed by their relianceвЂќ on Google codeД®ach of the three plaintiffs had 'relinquished other employment opportunities' to work for Google and 'believed that by accepting employment with Google, their labor would not be used to produce products or services that would facilitate unethical, inhumane or 'evil' conduct,' the complaint said. Google's firings of Rivers, Waldman, and Duke are also part of an ongoing case in which the National Labor Relations Board filed a complaint against Google. 'ach plaintiff protested Google's engagement in supporting BCP policies that resulted in separation of families and 'caging' of immigrants who were seeking asylum in the United States,' the complaint said. The ex-employees say they tried to uphold the 'Don't be evil' policy in August 2019 by circulating a petition 'requesting that Google affirm that it would not collaborate with CBP or ICE with respect to enforcement of the Trump border control policies.' The lawsuit notes that the Google Code of Conduct 'that each full-time Google employee is required to sign as a condition of employment' specifically instructs them not to be evil.

The ex-employees say Google falsely blamed them for a data leak after they circulated an internal petition. 'Google terminated each plaintiffs' employment with it for adhering to the directive 'Don't be evil' and calling out activity by Google that they each believed betrayed that directive,' according to the complaintВ filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court by Rebecca Rivers, Sophie Waldman, and Paul Duke.
