NLRB’s ruling also tells us about the internal opinion on Project Vivian. Michael Pfyl, Google’s director of employment law, reportedly expressed hope that the recommendations from IRI Consultants would enable them to “engage employees more positively and convince them that unions suck.”
The NLRB is waiting for 180 additional documents from Google
The revelations come after three former Google employees alleged that the company was illegally monitoring them. They went on to say that Google fired them for participating in union activities. Google is yet to submit the 180 documents about this matter to the NLRB, citing attorney-client privilege. Google’s human resources director, Kara Silverstein was in favor of this idea. However, the executive wanted to ensure this op-ed won’t have the “fingerprints” of Google. While IRI reportedly sent a draft of the op-ed to executives, it’s unclear if they went through with the op-ed. The company is likely to offer clarification or a statement following these new revelations.
