Tell Apple to Stop Union Busting
Apple Board of Directors
In response to shareholder concerns and growing employee activism, Apple recently commissioned a "Workers Rights Assessment" aimed at evaluating its labor practices. But Apple's report lacked one critical component: direct input from Apple workers.
Apple CORE Union, the first unionized Apple workers in the United States, conducted its own survey of Apple workers, which directly conflicts with the claims made in Apple's report. Apple CORE's survey found a pattern of illegal behavior by Apple, including alleged illegal firings and collective punishment for workers trying to exercise their right to form and join a union.
Please join the Apple CORE Union in telling Apple's Board of Directors to listen to the voices of its own workers.

We are aware that Apple recently commissioned a "Workers Rights Assessment" in response to shareholder concerns and growing employee activism. While we commend this effort, we were disappointed to learn that the report left out direct input from Apple workers themselves.
The Apple CORE Union, the first unionized Apple workers in the United States, conducted a survey of current and former Apple employees -- and the results directly conflict with claims made in Apple's report. Therefore we are calling on Apple's Board of Director's to demand the following:
- Forming an investigative committee inclusive of organized and nonunionized employees.
- Ending relationships with "union avoidance" consultants.
- Financial transparency regarding expenditures on anti-union activities
- A commitment to respectful bargaining practices.
Failure to address these demands would not only disregard shareholder concerns, but also risk significant reputational and legal repercussions for Apple. The Board has the opportunity to demonstrate a commitment to corporate responsibility and workers' rights by embracing these recommendations -- and we hope you do so.
