Apple sued for allegedly firing, threatening union organizers
Apple has been accused of unlawfully firing and threatening pro-union retail store workers in two complaints filed by the Communications Workers of America with the National Labor Relations Board.
The CWA is helping staff working across multiple Apple Stores organize unions. On Monday, it filed two Unfair Labor Practice charges, claiming the iGiant illegally axed five employees working at the Country Club Plaza store in Kansas City, Missouri, and punished staff at the Memorial City store in Houston, Texas. Both are seen as attempts to quash efforts to unionize.
Apple was accused of forcing some of the terminated workers to sign a"release of all claims" in exchange for a severance package in Kansas City. Last month, the NLRBthat employers cannot prevent former employees from speaking out about working conditions or their employers cracking down on union campaigns as part of severance agreements.
"Apple management said I was fired for a typo in my timesheet that I had documented and tried to correct. Yet, it is clear the real reason I was fired was for exercising my right to organize and win a protected voice on the job," D'lite Xiong, a former employee at the Country Club Plaza Apple Store in Kansas City,"Apple then attempted to silence me by having me sign a release in order to receive my severance package.
Meanwhile, at the Memorial City store in Houston, Apple workers were allegedly interrogated about their support for a union, and promised better working conditions if they turned their back on the CWA, according to a copy of the redacted complaint seen by. Apple was also accused of threatening staff with"detrimental workplace conditions" if they continued to support the group, while some were allegedly disciplined in retaliation for organizing.
