Apple Faces Second NLRB Complaint Over Employee Social Media Restrictions

The National Labor Relations Board accuses Apple of unlawfully limiting employees' use of Slack and social media for workplace advocacy.

Apple is alleged to have fired an employee for using Slack to advocate for workplace changes, according to the NLRB complaint.
The complaint also claims Apple forced another employee to delete a social media post and created an impression of surveillance.
This marks the second complaint from the NLRB against Apple this month, following accusations of illegal confidentiality agreements.
The case originates from a 2021 complaint by Janneke Parrish, who was reportedly dismissed for her role in employee activism.
An initial hearing is scheduled for February if Apple does not reach a settlement with the NLRB.
