Google workers walk out over sexual harassment management

Google employees around the world are protesting against what they allege is the mishandling of sexual harassment cases in the company. The mass walk-outs come after reports emerged that an executive was paid a severance package, even though sexual assault allegations against him were proven to be credible.

The protest comes a week after a New York Times article detailed allegations of sexual misconduct about the creator of its Android software, Andy Rubin.

The report says Mr Rubin received a $126 million severance package in 2014, even though Google concluded the sexual misconduct allegations against him were credible.
