Some of the highlights are listed below, and more information will be provided to you by your local president in the near future. We can’t express enough how important the support from each of you has been. Your support gave us the strength to stand up to the company and demand a fair contract!

Last October, their store became the second certified union at Apple. While the victory was rewarding, Forsythe shared with the members of the Congressional Labor Caucus that “management made it a more hostile, intimidating, and divisive place than you could even imagine.” “Our workplace has been flooded with raw sewage multiple times and my coworkers and I were responsible for cleaning up messes without any hazard gear,” Civick added, “I never saw myself becoming a part of a union organizing effort, but my years at Apple have shown me that all workers, no matter what sector, face injustice in the workplace and deserve a union to make their working conditions better.” https://cwa-union.org/news/worker-power-update-64 -- (Please remove QRM for direct replies) |

Berge Last week, a magistrate judge in U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina dismissed a Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) lawsuit brought by a plaintiff who claimed calls made by an insurance lead generator to her cell phone number, which was registered on the national Do Not Call (DNC) registry, were unlawful. The decision takes a view contrary to that of at least one other district court in the Fourth Circuit, but sides with a district court in Texas in finding that the do not call prohibitions of the TCPA do not encompass cell phones. https://www.mondaq.com/article/news/1283422?q=1803232&n=705&tp=3&tlk=14&lk=42 -- (Please remove QRM for direct replies) |
