The US Labor Board has abandoned its allegations that Tim Cook, the chief executive officer of the Apple Inc., has violated the federal labor law, one of many cases where agency is adopting a more business friendly approach under President Donald Trump.
In a letter to Bloomberg News on September 26, the Office of the General Council of the National Labor Relations Board said it was withdrawing many claims in the complaint issued against Apple in January.
Rejecting the allegations that Kick violated the rights of the workers when they sent an email when Apple could do whatever it could do to find leakers from the secret meeting, and that “confidential information leakers do not belong to here.” The All -Staff email, sent in September 2021, followed media reports about the internal meeting across the company last week, in which the administration raised questions about topics such as Pay Paytty and Apple’s response to Texas Anti -abortion Act.
The agency’s prosecutors are also withdrawing the allegations that Apple has enforced privacy rules, dismissing activist Jinnik Parish, and forcing workers to monitor or think that they are under supervision. In a January complaint, the Labor Board alleged that the company’s behavior, including the kick’s email, “was interfering with, preventing and force employees in the use of their rights.”
In a letter to a lawyer representing Parish, who had raised allegations about the company’s actions and policies, a regional director said that the agency “cautiously investigated and considered” and “further consideration,” many people should be excluded.
Apple, who did not respond to comments requests, has already refused to do wrong. An NLRB spokesman refused to comment.
US law protects employees’ right to take collective action or talks to each other about the situation with the union or without working. The NLRB has been entrusted with the implementation of these rights. His general lawyer, appointed by the US president, has the authority to order what he does or does not pursue it.
Under the Biden administration’s appointed Jennifer Abrozo, the agency’s prosecution took a broader theory about the rights of the workers, which led to cases that, for example, to stop the workers from displaying the “black life meters” indicators, to stop the work, to stop the work.
Trump sacked Abrozo in January, saying he was not sure he could treat employers fairly. He changed it with William Coon on the basis of acting, which has taken a narrow view of the rights of employees under the law. “The fact of the fact is that if we try to fulfill everything, we are not in danger of getting anything,” Coon told the agency staff in February a week after his appointment week.
Since then, Coon’s office has disrupted a number of issues that were being pursued under the Abruzo, a record obtained by the Information Act request for independence. It withdrew the allegations that companies, including Canbiens Firm Curly Holdings Inc., had violated the labor law using non -compatible contracts, which banned staff from working for rivals.
It likewise abandoned claims that the administration needed to pay fees to leave jobs in the policies of the companies – as well as the rules banning “gossip” and banning media interviews were also against the law.
Under Coon, the agency has also pursued a number of Abrozo’s focus. The agency moved to a private jail company Geo Group Inc. to reject complaints. Coon also suggested that the ongoing controversy about the firing of SpaceX about the firing of employees who criticized CEO Elon Musk was probably never under the jurisdiction of the Labor Board.
Coon has maintained continuity with Abrozo in some of the high -level cases, with complaints, his office alleged that Amazon.com was forbidden to negotiate with all the contractor drivers, and that the Grinder is using the Inc. Directorate of Directorate. Companies have denied wrongdoing.
“This has been a very balanced and thinking approach,” said Roger King, senior Labor and Employment Councilor of the HR Policy Association, “which includes the board’s executives of the United Parcel Service Inc., Verizon Communication Inc. and Walmart Inc..
Former Apple program manager, Pirish, who has now claimed to be claims to be claims, describes Kon’s point of view as a phrase that will encourage corporate misconduct and discourage employees from speaking.
“It will have a very clear cool effect,” said Parish.
