The OFCCP is now demanding Google provide names and private contact information of tens of thousands of employees and ex-employees (some of which haven't been been associated with Google for years)[1]. Unless the OFCCP can give a really compelling reason why this sensitive info is suddenly now required for their "compliance evaluations", Google has a very real obligation to fight overbroad data requests in ALL cases.

If Google didn't want to reveal this information, they shouldn't have taken federal contracts.

  Do you know that they are in breach, or are you just assuming?

    That's the whole reason the government is taking them to court: Google and the Labor Department have a disagreement and a judge will figure it out.

    This is not how compliance works, you need to prove you are compliant not the otherway around.
- foota 10y ago
  It sounds like Google views the information requested as not being necessary for certifying compliance and that they have supplied other information requested.

  OTOH, Google is essentially forced to take federal contracts, and cannot provide a reason that is acceptable to shareholders on why not.

    Google isn't forced to take anyone's business. The small group of preferred shareholders still have total control over the company and have no obligation to explain their reasons to other shareholders.
