US labor watchdog says there is 'merit' to allegations Apple violated staff laws
Gjovik's case stems from her work at an Apple office in Sunnyvale, California, that had been built on an apparently contaminated site, exposure to which caused her adverse health effects. Gjovik claims that Apple fought her efforts to address safety concerns, and then to report the site to the NLRB and the Environmental Protection Agency, ultimately resulting in her being placed on leave and fired.
Gjovik said Apple's justification for her firing that same month was related to her violating disclosure policies of the kind Cook complained about, though she maintains the firing was related to her reporting of the contamination issues to the US government. Like Steve Jobs, Cook has a record of going after Apple leakers with retaliation. In 2018, an email from Cook to employees, of course, and its contents indicated Apple was more than willing to prosecute those that it believed had wronged it.
"In 2017, Apple caught 29 leakers. 12 of those were arrested," Cook said in the email."These people not only lose their jobs, they can face extreme difficulty finding employment elsewhere," the letter stated.she was annoyed that it had taken more than a year to get action from the US government on the all-staff email sent by Cook, but that she's happy action is finally being taken.
"My hope is that for the first time Apple is told by the government that this culture of secrecy is not OK. I also hope that this sends shockwaves through other corporations that even Apple can be held accountable," Gjovik
