Should these charges be corroborated, they could spell considerable legal and reputational ramifications for the company.
"It’s obvious that this timing is incredibly suspicious, and that is why we are filing an unfair labor practice charge — to hold Google and Accenture accountable for their behavior," declared Anjail Muhammad, a former Google employee.
