Microsoft Firing of Gaza Protest Organizers Upheld by NLRB Attorney

A recent decision by a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) attorney has ruled that Microsoft did not violate federal labor law when it fired two workers who organized a protest of the war in Gaza at the company's Washington headquarters.

The protest, which took place on an unspecified date, was deemed by the NLRB attorney to lack a clear enough tie to the employees' work, thus justifying their termination. This decision is based on an advice memo released in August 2026.
