'Instead of a joyful celebration of my recent promotion and hard work, I am stunned and hurt while I scramble to find a new job and clear my name,' said fired worker Kathryn Spiers.

Google is facing labor charges after firing yet another employee activist on Friday, marking the company's fifth controversial termination in less than a month.fired worker Kathryn Spiers accuses the technology giant of unfairly terminating her contract in a bid to silence her and fellow employees.

As part of that job, Spiers said, she decided to create"a little notification, only a few lines of code" that would pop up in her coworkers' browsers to ensure they were aware that"Googlers have the right to participate in protected concerted activities." "The company has never reacted aggressively in response to a notification such as this in the past," she asserted."It's always been a celebrated part of the culture."This time, however, Google's immediate response was to suspend her"without warning."," she said, referring to the four employees who accused Google of firing them to"crush worker organizing" just before the long Thanksgiving weekend.

The controversy came to a head on December 13, Spiers said, with her"interrogator" calling her to inform her that she was being"terminated for violating Google's security policies."
