The Alphabet Workers Union has filed a formal complaint against Google, claiming the tech giant did not adhere to the Cal-WARN Act's requirement for notifying employees and local authorities about mass layoffs. The union states that in April, over 150 workers were let go without proper notification, which violated labor laws designed to protect employees. Google disputes these claims, insisting that they complied with all legal requirements and had informed affected employees. The situation emphasizes the delicate balance between corporate decisions and legal obligations to workers and communities.
The WARN Act was specifically written for cities like Mountain View, cities with single employers that employ a large portion of the local workforce.
We're in full compliance with all applicable WARN laws, and as we always do, we provided employees whose roles were impacted with the required notice period.
