A San Francisco-based software company reached a $775,000 agreement to settle a National Labor Relations Board charge that claimed the firm fired a group of engineers attempting to organize, the union announced Monday.

Lanetix Inc., a cloud services software company, was accused of pushing its coding engineers to stop discussing complaints about workplace conditions in person, on the chat app Slack, or via other electronic communication. According to the NLRB complaint, the company ultimately fired the group who filed a petition to form a union with a local branch of the Communication Workers of America, The Washington-Baltimore News Guild Local 32035.
