Google contractors claim they're forced to sign non-disclosure agreements that would prevent them from telling their parents how much money they make or writing a novel about Silicon Valley.

According to the lawsuit filing, contractors said the rules prevent them from "disclosing violations of state and federal law, either within Google to their managers or outside Google to private attorneys or government officials."

It also stated they can't talk about the skills they obtained at Google if they're looking for a job at a competitor, and can't recommend colleagues who might be receptive to a rival job offer. Plaintiffs also allege Adecco has an illegal policy prohibiting temporary employees placed at Google from working directly for Google without Adecco's permission, the filing states. They also allege policies illegally prevented them from speaking out about failures to pay overtime work hours.

"The defendant argued they communicate with government agencies regarding violations of law however, plaintiffs allege these clauses are meaningless and contrary to Google's policies and practices of enforcement, which threaten employees for disclosing any information at all," the filings read. In the filing, dated Sept. 21, the appeals court reversed a lower court decision and said that plaintiffs could go forward with the case.
