Recent developments in unionization efforts at Apple have revealed mixed outcomes across different locations. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) sided with Apple in a case involving the firing of 5 pro-union retail employees in Kansas City, marking a rare victory for the company. However, investigations found that Apple had engaged in illegal activities such as threatening, coercing, and interrogating staff, along with holding captive audience anti-union meetings. Despite these findings, Apple retail employees in New Jersey voted against unionization, reflecting the challenges faced by organizing efforts within the company.
