Because the article title is extremely clickbaity and wrong. They fired four people because they were repeatedly breaking privacy policies and leaking documents.

“They fired four people because they were repeatedly breaking privacy policies and leaking documents.”

I just heard the news about the firing and allegation google hired a firm with expertise to bust unions.

If you’ve ever worked an entry-level job at any firm with high turnover (retail, food service) you will know first hand managers excel who can manufacture write-ups, which become the basis for just-cause firing.

It’s a thing!

They fired four people, who allege they were fired for union activity. Google claim they were fired for privacy violations. It's not clear at this point who is correct. Either party might be correct, or both might be to some degree. I'm interested in HN's perspective.
