The company's anti-union tactics at retail outlets have drawn government scrutiny and are fueling a drive to get a new labor bill through Congress.
before Apple Store employees in Oklahoma City voted on whether to unionize last October, managers walked a couple of them at a time to a ghostly empty storefront at the mall. Around a table under spotlight-like illumination, a manager or two and an Apple human resources staffer offered takeout from Panera and Chick-fil-A and told spooky stories about how a union would ruin workers’ relationships with their bosses.
Civick’s store ultimately voted 56-32 to unionize, despite the company’s tactics, and she is now working with labor-friendly members of Congress to pass a law that would limit strategies like those Apple used in Oklahoma City. It would ban bosses from forcing workers to listen to anti-union spiels, along with other legal changes that help unionization campaigns.
“The PRO Act is more than just labor reform—it’s a civil rights necessity,” Schumer says in a statement. “This legislation empowers marginalized workers—women, people of color, immigrants, and the LGBTQ Community.”
