Recently, Google has made many headlines over its contentious relationship with workers over organizing efforts. Currently, the Google Calendar app is a source of controversy. Employees believe that Google is using the Calendar application as a way to gain information on whether or not employees are trying to unionize. The employees concern is raised by the fact that the Google Calendar app reports any staffer that creates an event that requires more than 10 rooms or invites more than 100 employees. Google contends that the applications reporting system is used as a way to remind employees not to spam their coworkers with event invites. However, the dispute highlights the growing contention between Google and its employees.
