U.S. labour agency investigating two complaints from Apple workers
The HinduThe U.S. National Labour Relations Board is investigating two cases filed by Apple Inc employees against the company, records on the agency's website show, amid a wave of employee activism at a company known for its secretive culture. Ashley Gjovik, a senior engineering program manager at Apple, told Reuters that she filed the Aug. 26 charge, which cites harassment from a manager, reduction of responsibilities and increases in unfavourable work, among other complaints. Employees in Silicon Valley, especially Apple workers, are known for avoiding publicity, reflecting companies' desire to keep new products tightly under wraps. In addition, workers have engaged in a heated debate on the messaging platform Slack about Apple's move to scan U.S. customer phones and computers for child sex abuse images Gjovik told Reuters that after Apple began investigating her complaints, as well as allegations of sexism, her managers began re-assigning her work to colleagues and loading her up with undesirable tasks.
