Google Walkout Organizers Say They're Facing Retaliation

I don’t know whether a walkout would or wouldn’t be a protected activity. It’s a tricky question with a lot of moving parts. I suspect you don’t know either. If that’s the case, you ought to be more careful about giving legal advice in confidant and unconditional terms where that advice, if taken, could lead to adverse consequences for readers.

If you are attorney specializing in labor law and you think the above posts comport with your ethical obligations, then carry on I guess.

I can’t read that article, but I would be shocked if any an attorney said in print that is was definitely protected without any kind of conditions or caveats the way the ancestor post did.

You're correct, IANAL, but is merely quoting an official EEOC page tantamount to giving legal advice? GGP said "Nothing these Google employees did is even close to being on that list", and I pointed out items on the list that were. I didn't intend for it to come across as legal advice.
