UPDATE 1-Ex-Google workers say firings for protesting Israel contract were illegal
A group of workers at Alphabet Inc's Google have filed a complaint with a U.S. labor board claiming the tech company unlawfully fired about 50 employees for protesting its cloud contract with the Israeli government. The single-page complaint filed late Monday with the U.S. National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) alleges that by firing the workers, Google interfered with their rights under U.S. labor law to advocate for better working conditions. Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
