The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has accused American multinational corporation and technology company, Apple of anti-union practices, and denying employees the right to discuss wages.

The NLRB which earlier accused Apple of union-busting disclosed that Apple had violated workers’ rights and even forced workers to sign illegal nondisclosure, non-compete and confidentiality agreements.

Cher Scarlett and Ashley Gjøvik, two former Apple employees, are the source of these accusations. They asserted that Tim Cook, the CEO, intended to punish leakers and that Apple forbade discussing wages. Additionally, Gjøvik claimed that the company stopped employees from speaking with the media.

However, according to a statement from a representative, Apple has always honored workers’ rights to talk about pay, hours, and working conditions, and this is reflected in its employment standards.

“We strongly disagree with these claims and will continue to share the facts at the hearing,” the company said.

 Should Apple fail to settle, the matter will be heard by an administrative judge starting in January. The government wants Apple to retract the purportedly illegal guidelines and advise all US employees of their legal rights.
