Additionally it’s important to remember that the news report is a one-sided interview basically. It’s hard to know what’s going to be established as fact here until it hits the courts.
It's an interview of two of the three sides, not a one-sided interview. The motivation for the article is that the US National Labor Relations Board has now joined the initial complainant in making the allegations against Apple and asking them to settle by agreeing to specific remedies.
They did also try to get comment from Apple, and since Apple declined to answer their questions (see the end of the article), they nevertheless quoted Apple's statement to Reuters on this topic from last month. So all three sides are at least represented in the article.
Sure, it's true that no judge, jury, or administrative hearing officer has yet ruled on the allegations; that is still in the future if no settlement occurs, but part of the news report is that such an administrative hearing has now been scheduled.
No. But I do feel worse for the things management does. I think that's pretty normal. That's exactly what today is about, right?
> Apple is an organization of 160k employees. Even from a numbers game someone is going to be doing something problematic.
I'm not judging Ryan in accounts making off-colored jokes. I'm judging the decisions of the top dozens of leaders.
I do think if we uad a legal that could actually hold these organizations accountable, and we would see less corporate law breaking. A common stance on HN is that we should be putting more executives in jail for longer instead of just fining companies amounts that are just the cost of doing business.
