Another Google employee added her name to a list of workers who say they were fired for legally advocating for labor rights inside the company.

Kathryn Spiers, 21, said she was fired Dec. 13 after she developed a notification that told colleagues they had the right to participate in labor organizing when they visited the website of IRI Consultants, a firm that advises employers on how to combat unions.
