Microsoft’s firing of anti-Israel campus protesters legal, NLRB rules

 Microsoft dismissed two employees for orchestrating an unsanctioned protest at their campus. According to the National Labor Relations Board, the demonstration did not present a tangible workplace issue. The protest organizers were unable to establish a direct connection to employment conditions. Citing an old petition failed to establish relevance. Consequently, the board determined the protest’s objectives did not align with activities protected for employees. Microsoft dismissed two employees for orchestrating an unsanctioned protest at their campus.
