Around
150 employees of Google
India walked out of their offices in solidarity with the protest
over the company's treatment of women. The protest saw participation
from three Indian offices — Mumbai, Hyderabad and Gurugram.
According
to senior executives at Google, the protesting employees had
discussions about pay parity, sexual harassment at workplace, and the
#MeToo
movement. Google confirmed that a walkout happened at offices in
India.
“Yesterday
(on Wednesday), we let Googlers know that we are aware of the
activities planned for Thursday and that employees will have the
support they need if they wish to participate. Employees have raised
constructive ideas for how we can improve our policies and our
processes.
We
are taking in all their feedback so we can turn these ideas into
action,” Sundar Pichai, CEO Google said in a statement.
Some
of the demands include commitment to end pay and opportunity
inequality, publicly disclosed sexual harassment transparency report
as well as a clear, uniform, globally inclusive process for reporting
sexual misconduct safely and anonymously.
