Thousands of Google staff across the world have staged a series of walkouts in protest at claims of sexual harassment, gender inequality and systemic racism.
Thursday's demonstrations comes a week after it was reported that Google gave a 90-million-dollar severance package to Andy Rubin, the creator of Android, while hiding that he had been accused of sexual misconduct.
Rubin has denied the allegations in the New York Times report.
The protesting workers have made several demands, including an end to pay inequality as well as greater transparency about sexual harassment.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai insisted the firm had taken what he called a "hard line" over sexual misconduct and would support employees who took part in the protests.
