"We don't condone the existence of this channel, however due to labor laws, we can't and won't take action against it. If the discussion of this channel moves away from primarily being labor and organization related we will archive the channel, give all of you access to the archive, and shut it down. This is to prevent the harassment and not to block organization efforts.
If you feel uncomfortable in this chat, please let us know and we can silently remove you from it.
We also encourage employees that want to organize to use alternative methods that aren't hosted by Apple."
- chickenpotpie 5y agoAll too often people on hacker news will say “well what we’re they supposed to do?” and being honest and open is always the answer.
- nickff 5y agoThe other side on Hacker News will say 'be open and honest', but fail to indemnify the person at hand against potential losses. Talk is cheap, unless you're the one who has to pay for the consequences.
- aaomidi 5y agoAgain this is a legal requirement. If the cost of allowing this means Apple is going to tank then maybe it should tank.
- nickff 5y agoSo, if a company can't afford to enable "nast[iness]", they "should tank"? I am trying to take everyone's argument at face value, but yours doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
