Google fires 28 anti-Israel employees who occupied offices in protest
Quick Glance: Google terminates 28 employees after office occupation due to anti-Israel protests
  • Google terminated 28 employees on Thursday who had occupied its offices to protest against contracts with the Israeli government, as confirmed by a Google spokesperson.

  • The protesters were arrested and after refusing to leave the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in Sunnyvale or the workspace in New York City for nearly 10 hours, they were transferred to administrative positions to urge Google to terminate the Project Nimbus contract and cease business with the Israeli government.

  • No Tech For Apartheid, a project by Jewish Voice for Peace and Linda Sarsour’s MPower Change, described the terminations as an "indiscriminate act of mass retaliation."

  • The office occupations at Google were accompanied by demonstrations on-site and in Seattle, aiming to compel Google to withdraw from the project to establish cloud-based data centers and transition a significant portion of the Israeli government's IT infrastructure to cloud-based servers.

Quick Glance: Major Burger King California Franchisee Introduces Order Kiosks Due to $20 Wage Impact
  • Harsh Ghai stated in an early April interview that 25% of his restaurants already have kiosks, with the remaining 75% set to be equipped within the next 30 to 60 days.

  • The new minimum wage for limited-service restaurant chains with at least 60 nationwide locations took effect on April 1, standing 25% higher than California's general minimum wage of $16 per hour.

  • Fast-food chains are accelerating the deployment of order kiosks in US locations to cut labor costs, with the introduction becoming more pressing due to California's new $20 minimum wage.

Quick Glance: California Fast Food Workers React to Wage Increase, Franchise Owners Express Concern
  • A significant number of employees in fast food chains in California began benefiting from a $20-an-hour minimum wage on Monday, raising concerns among some small business owners about their future, while workers emphasized that the wage hike assists in covering expenses.

  • The wage increase, starting from the state's $16 minimum, was implemented following discussions between groups representing workers and restaurants. It is applicable to chains with 60 or more locations nationwide. Governor Gavin Newsom, the signatory of the compromise law last September, highlighted the aim of fostering inclusivity in the state's economy.

  • The economic implications are not straightforward. Various studies suggest that a higher minimum wage could lead to reduced hours and hiring, although others indicate positive outcomes for employees.

  • The extent to which other businesses will feel compelled to raise their wages to align with those affected by the law remains uncertain.
