Request to block mass firing of probationary employees denied by judge

The article discusses a recent court decision in California where a judge denied a union's request for a temporary restraining order to block the mass firing of probationary employees at Google. The union, representing workers at Google's YouTube Music, argued that the layoffs were retaliatory, targeting union supporters. However, Judge Thomas S. Hneles of the Santa Clara County Superior Court ruled that the union failed to provide sufficient evidence that the layoffs were motivated by union activity rather than Google's stated business reasons. Google had announced the termination of 100 contract workers, all of whom were in their probationary period, as part of a broader cost-cutting measure. The judge's decision allows Google to proceed with the layoffs, although the union has indicated plans to appeal the ruling.
