They'll get hit with some small monetary penalty. Nothing is going to change until we replace our anti-worker government with pro-worker government.

- elicash 7y agoI hope this doesn't stay downvoted, because it best reflects the sad state of labor law. The MOST they'd get is back-pay if Google loses. But truthfully, most people have to find another job when they lose their job, so that new paycheck is deducted from their "damages" and you subtract what they earned while fired from their backpay. GENERALLY-speaking, there would not be punitive damages. That's why there's usually no disincentive to not just fire the worker who is organizing. The potential payout is tiny to the company.
- luxuryballs 7y agoWhy should they get a penalty at all? We want things like freedom of speech but not freedom of who we allow inside our private lives?
- shantly 7y ago... uh, what?
