Apple employees organizing for 'systemic change' in workplace
Apple workers are organizing to push for better workplace conditions across the Silicon Valley giant’s corporate, tech and retail branches.
A website and Twitter page launched Monday, under the name Apple Too, calling for workers to share their experiences to “expose persistent patterns” of racism, sexism, discrimination, intimidation and more.
“For too long, Apple has evaded public scrutiny. The truth is that for many Apple workers -- a reality faced disproportionately by our Black, Indigenous, and other colleagues from minoritized racial, gender, and historically marginalized groups of people -- the culture of secrecy creates an opaque, intimidating fortress,” the website states.
The workers behind the anonymous website say that when they've pressed for accountability, they’ve been faced with a “pattern of isolation, degradation, and gaslighting.”
“No more. We've exhausted all internal avenues. We've talked with our leadership. We've gone to the People team. We've escalated through Business Conduct. Nothing has changed,” they add.
