Google employees raise more than $200,000 in pledges for strike fund

The considerations, she wrote, should include “thinking about what a strike fund would look like and what a mass resignation mutual support fund would look like, especially to provide cover to folks on H1B visas.” She offered to match the first $100,000 raised, and in only a few hours, she said $100,000 had been pledged. She noted to The Verge soon after that $115,000 had been pledged from 19 current employees and two former ones.

“Okay, the full $100k has been raised,” Fong-Jones wrote in a tweet. “Watch this space for more details once I’ve spoken to legal counsel and more experienced labor organizers.”
