Organizing Update

Apple

Last Friday, CWA filed an unfair labor practice charge against Apple for multiple federal labor law violations, including creating a fake, company-controlled union to interfere with workers’ organizing efforts. Over the course of the year, Apple has opposed workers organizing for better pay and working conditions by launching a national anti-union campaign to prevent employees from exercising their right to stand together. “Creating a work group controlled by management is undemocratic and a clear attempt at union-busting. If management actually cared about workers having a voice on the job, they would direct them to the Apple Retail Union/CWA which is run by workers, not bosses,” said Sara Steffens, CWA Secretary-Treasurer.
