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.
