“Last night, Google made the decision to arrest us, the company’s own workers – instead of engaging with our concerns about Project Nimbus, the company’s $1.2 billion cloud computing contract with Israel ” Google employees in New York City and California have been arrested and fired after staging sit-ins to protest the company’s business with the nation of Israel . Although it’s not mentioned specifically in reports, these are classic tactics of the boycott, divest and sanction movement.
“Those of us sitting in Thomas Kurian’s office repeatedly requested to speak with the Google Cloud CEO, but our requests were denied,” they said. Nine Google workers were arrested on trespassing charges Tuesday night after staging a sit-in at the company’s offices in New York and Sunnyvale, California, including a protest in Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian’s office.
