My Apple Labor Advocacy
I raised issues about workplace safety (my EPA Superfund office) in March 2021, and was told to stop sharing my concerns. When I reported this, Apple subjected me to a nonconsensual sexism investigation on my behalf, retaliation in itself. Then I faced additional retaliation from my managers, employee relations, & human resources. I continued to raise workplace safety concerns as well as my concerns about the employee relations processes at Apple. This led to a second, much larger investigation which I actually requested this time. During this time I organized with other employees around workplace safety concerns, and discrimination & retaliation concerns. However, before I could finish gathering evidence, Apple forced me onto indefinite paid administrative leave on August 4th, pressuring me to stop organizing with other employees. On September 9th, Apple terminated me for vague and contradictory reasons.
