Apple accused of restricting workers’ rights; here’s what US labour board alleged

Apple faces another complaint from the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). The US labour board has accused the tech giant of interfering with employees’ rights to organise and advocate for better working conditions. The complaint alleges that Apple unlawfully restricted the use of social media and workplace messaging app Slack, illegally fired an employee for advocating for workplace changes on Slack, and created an impression of surveillance through social media monitoring after it asked a worker to delete a social media post.
