Google Workers Walk Out to Protest Sexual Harassment

HeadlineNov 01, 2018

Google workers are taking part in a worldwide walkout today over the company’s handling of sexual harassment cases. Last week, The New York Times published a report detailing sexual misconduct at Google, including by Android creator Andy Rubin, who allegedly forced an employee to perform oral sex on him. Google gave Rubin a $90 million exit package when he left the company in 2014 but never publicized the claims against him or the financial terms of his departure. A flier created by workers for the walkout reads, “I’m not at my desk right now because I’m walking out in solidarity with Googlers and other contractors to protest sexual harassment, misconduct, lack of transparency and a workplace culture that’s not working for everyone.”
