unit and security company Allied Universal, is seeking unspecified monetary damages for alleged physical and emotional harassment at Google's Los Angeles offices based on his sexual orientation and race, which it says took place between 2014 and last year.Many major companies including Google last year stepped up efforts to create more inclusive worksites after social protests calling attention to racism.
