Department of Labor Sues Google Over Compensation Data (cnn.com)

An anonymous reader quotes a report from CNNMoney: The Department of Labor filed a lawsuit against Google on Wednesday to get the Internet company to turn over compensation data on its employees. The data request is part of a routine audit into Google's equal opportunity hiring practices, which is required because of the company's role as a federal contractor. Google provides cloud computing services to various federal agencies and the military. Google is obligated to let the government access records that show its hiring doesn't discriminate based on race, religion, sexual orientation, gender and more. According to the lawsuit, Google has repeatedly refused to provide names, contact information, job history and salary history details that the government has requested for its employees. The Labor Department is now requesting that a judge order all of Google's federal contracts canceled unless it complies with the data request. "Despite many opportunities to produce this information voluntarily, Google has refused to do so," Thomas M. Dowd, acting director for the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, said in a statement. "We filed this lawsuit so we can obtain the information we need to complete our evaluation."

Subway utilized a chemical agent found in the soles of shoes and in yoga mats in order to make it's sandwich bread 'fluffier' this chemical was not tested for human consumption and it's effects are unknown on the human nervous system kidneys heart liver etc. They fed this to children, our military, our elderly, and on a personal level, they fed me this unknown toxic shit.

It does not suprise me you have not heard of it. Most people also have not heard of the rootkit scandal, most people are ignorant of wal mart slave labor, many people do not know mcdonalds got caught washing their meat in hydrogen peroxide in an attempt to destroy mad cow desease causing prions so they could continue to have low quality standards in their herd treatment and still serve the meat.

I am the original poster, and my point still stands, we need to kill one of these giants and we need to do it soon if not immediately. They are becoming unruly and acting as entities unto themselves rather than part of a larger society. That is why they must be brought in line, and it must be done in a way to which no doubt is left. One must die.
