Last week, Google placed two workers on administrative leave for violating company policies about accessing and sharing internal documents. On Friday, those two workers, who have now publicly identified themselves as Laurence Berland and Rebecca Rivers, will speak at a worker-led rally outside Google’s offices in San Francisco.

“The company is claiming that [the suspensions are] for looking up calendars and documents, which is something we all do but we know that it is punishment for speaking up for themselves and others,” Google workers organizing Friday's demonstration said in a statement. “We are demanding that Google bring these workers back to work immediately.”
