For the first time, an NLRB judge has ruled against Apple, the world's most valuable company, for violating worker's rights. The judge ruled that Apple violated the rights of retail employees at its World Trade Center store in NYC by “coercively interrogating” workers about their union support and restricting the circulation of union flyers. The judge is requiring the company to “cease and desist” from interrogating workers about their legally-protected labor organizing. “What Apple executives are doing is wrong, and we have your back and will hold them accountable,” said secretary-treasurer Sara Steffens. Workers everywhere should take notice of this ruling against Apple. It demonstrates that companies, no matter what their net worth is, simply cannot continue to violate worker's rights. This is a huge win for workers.
