Apple is in hot water for its interrogation of a worker.
“The manager of an Apple Inc (AAPL.O), opens new tab retail store in Manhattan violated U.S. labor law by asking an employee whether he supported a union campaign, a federal labor board has ruled in its first decision involving the tech giant.
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) in a single-page ruling late on Monday said the manager’s questioning of the worker, who had raised concerns about pay at a group meeting, amounted to unlawful interrogation and upheld a decision by an administrative judge.
The Democrat-controlled board also affirmed the judge’s ruling that Apple illegally barred workers at the World Trade Center store from distributing union flyers.
Apple, which has denied wrongdoing, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The company can appeal the decision to a federal appeals court.
At least two Apple stores in the U.S. have unionized since 2022, and unions are working to organize several other locations including the World Trade Center store.”
