Another bad apple has been exposed, raising the question of how bad Apple is. Has Apple become the least ethical Big Tech company in history? It is shocking to see in what extremely dishonest behavior Apple engages against the stakeholders it is exploiting: certain categories of employees, and app developers. Apple treats all of them as serfs, and there is an astounding parallel: Apple doesn't want those serfs' voices to be heard and interests to be represented. Just like they believe that only Apple (and not users) should decide what apps to download (and from what monopolistic App Store with its abusive terms) to download, Apple employees shouldn't speak for themselves but instead join a fake union that is just a sock puppet for Apple's management.
There have been other complaints with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) over Apple's "union-busting" efforts, some of which are mentioned in CNET's latest article on a Communications Workers of America (CWA) complaint that Bloomberg (paywalled) was first to report:
