Under the National Labor Relations Act, employees in the United States like those who took action Thursday at Google have the right to protest peacefully without retaliation if a walkout is sparked by directly workplace-related issues.

Thousands of Google employees in offices around the world staged a walkout Thursday to protest an alleged culture that fosters sexual harassment at the Mountain View, California-based tech company.
The walkout comes a week after reports from The New York Times that Google protected male executives accused of sexual misconduct and inappropriate relationships with subordinates, including then-Google general counsel and now-parent company Alphabet chief legal officer David Drummond.
