@ 2023/03/30CWA tells Jobs’ Mob it is time to modernise
The Communications Workers of America (CWA) has accused Apple of illegally firing employees in retaliation for their union organising efforts.
The Communications Workers of America (CWA) has filed two Unfair Labour Practice (ULP) complaints against the tech giant.
"The charges allege that Apple illegally fired five workers at the company's Country Club Plaza store in Kansas City and that some of the fired workers were forced to sign a 'Release of All Claims' in exchange for a meagre severance package," the CWA said in a statement Tuesday.
A Release of Claims is a written contract wherein "one or more parties agree to give up legal causes of action against the other party in exchange for adequate consideration," which may be offered as severance in terms of employment, according to Thomson Reuters Practical Law.
