apple creates fake union run by managers to trick employees into thinking they have their needs represented.

According to a recent complaint by the Communications Workers of America, Apple illegally created a work group driven by managers to try to stop union organizing efforts.

In a filing on December 16 with the US National Labor Relations Board, the Communications Workers of America accused Apple of “soliciting employees to join an employer-created / employer-dominated labor organization as a means of stifling union activities.” This kind of action is forbidden under US federal labor law.

The CWA also accused Apple of holding mandatory anti-union meetings, something the company has been accused of before. During the sessions, store management reportedly claimed that Apple would be legally barred from negotiating on specific topics if workers unionized, which is false.
