Union accuses Apple of illegal firing of pro-union workers.
TL;DR Summary
The Communications Workers of America has filed charges with the National Labor Relations Board alleging that Apple fired five union organizers in Kansas City, Missouri, in retaliation for union activity. The terminated workers said they were disciplined and fired for tardiness, calling out of work, and improperly filling out attendance-related forms. Apple has held regular meetings at its stores to discuss the pitfalls of joining unions. The charges are the first the union has filed against Apple for unlawfully terminating retail workers for union activity.
