A federal judge has allowed a former Google software engineer fired after participating in a workplace protest against the company's cloud computing contract with Israel to pursue key retaliation and pay discrimination claims, while dismissing several other allegations. U.S. District Judge Jesse M. Furman ruled Wednesday that former Google employee Joelle Skaf plausibly alleged she was unlawfully terminated after complaining about workplace discrimination and participating in an April 16, 2024, sit-in protesting Project Nimbus, Google's multibillion-dollar cloud computing and artificial intelligence contract with the Israeli government.
