The National Labor Relations Board has evidence that Apple used anti-union tactics to try to stop unionization efforts, including interrogating and coercing employees. <\/p>\n

\n

Apple has long been suspected of engaging in anti-union tactics, especially at its Atlanta, Georgia, location. In May,<\/a> Apple Cumberland Mall retail workers accused the company of countering an ongoing union drive. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

That same month, the workers dropped the union vote request,<\/a> saying that Apple “conducted a systematic, sophisticated campaign to intimidate them and interfere with their right to form a union.” <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Now, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has determined that Apple violated federal law by holding mandatory anti-union meetings, reports<\/a> Bloomberg<\/em>, At the meetings, management made coercive statements to employees seeking to unionize. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Atlanta regional director of the NLRB will issue a complaint if Apple doesn’t settle with its employees. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In October, Apple received a complaint<\/a> from the NLRB over accusations of union-busting at a New York City store. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In November,<\/a> Apple’s retail store in the St. Louis Galleria Mall dropped its bid to unionize, blaming the company’s hostility towards such efforts.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
