Less than three months after a massive employee protest, Google is facing a new outcry from workers for advancing a controversial legal argument as part of a labor lawsuit. As first reported by Bloomberg, Google lawyers have argued against a crucial precedent allowing employees to use company email and other infrastructure to circulate petitions, as part of an ongoing dispute before the National Labor Relations Board.
Google made the argument defending anti-harassment actions by management, and says the legal filing has been over-interpreted. “We’re not lobbying for changes to any rules,” the company said in a statement. “This was a legal defense that we included as one of many possible defenses in the response to a charge.”
