on Monday, alleging that the tech giant compelled its employees to sign illegal confidentiality, non-compete, and non-disclosure agreements.

What Happened: The complaint also claims that Apple excessively enforced social media and misconduct policies. The NLRB’s statement, seen by Reuters, accuses Apple of “interfering with, restraining, and coercing employees in the exercise of” their rights under federal labor law.
