Google has had enough with workplace activism?

But I'm also adding that often the same thing happens during labor conflicts.

Americans take the side of corporations for the same reasons: they don't want "chaos"
and businesses have to make a profit, workers have a right to work etc.

There is a rank order of priorities in this case as well that I don't agree with.
Labor shouldn't always be dissed for taking ethical stands against corporate greed.

In the late '30s, San Francisco longshoremen refused to load scrap Iron to Japan,
while the Imperial army was raping and butchering its way across China.
Then in the 60s they refused to load cargo heading to or from South Africa, and supported
divestment.

In '85 they were still doing it, and prompted Berkeley students to protest for
divestment as well. Many Americans, of course, were against that. Certainly Reagan was.

So this sort of protest isn't exactly new.

I understand what you are wanting to say, but this instance is not the same. 

I will stick up for employees (and I think most will agree as well), not being paid Overtime Correctly, or forced to miss lunches/breaks or other workplace law violations including OSHA violations and so on. In most of those types of cases, the Corp knows what they are doing is wrong but choose to do it, so I don't feel bad about the hammer coming down on them.

This instance is not a Law Violation of any kind other than the activists were disrupting the general workforce and creating a hostile environment. If you were a Jew working there, and they were protesting AT YOUR PLACE of EMPLOYMENT INSIDE None the less, not outside on their own some place where you can avoid, you can't avoid going to your place of employment. 

What Law did Google violate by firing them?
