Not being cynical, I am genuinely curious. As most of these employees are based in California, which is an at-will-employment state, what is stopping Apple from terminating the ones making the noise but under the guise of poor performance (PIP) like most of the other FAANGs do?
- neartheplain 5y agoDisclaimer, I am not a lawyer: California labor law prevents employers from firing you for engaging in "protected activity" [0][1], which includes labor organizing and forms of political speech. They can still fire you for a long list of other reasons, though.

- s09dfhks 5y agoI understand that part, you cannot terminate someone for organizing. There have been posts here about Amazon and Google using a PIP as a "legal" means to terminate someone, so I'm curious if a large portion of "loud" individuals at Apple are suddenly going to have productivity issues all at the same time
