Apple Accused of Forcing Employees to Sign Illegal Contracts, Quashes Labor Efforts
The National Labor Relations Board has launched a complaint against Apple, accusing the company of violating employees' right to organize and forcing them to sign illegal confidentiality, non-compete, and non-disclosure agreements. The complaint also alleges that Apple over-enforced social media and misconduct policies on its employees. Apple plans to share the facts at a hearing in January, while the NLRB wants Apple to repeal its unlawful rules and notify its workforce of their legal rights.
