This isn't a substantive response to the article. This article isn't reporting on the complainant's allegations, which are a few years old at this point.

Instead, the article is reporting on a five-day-old decision by the US National Labor Relations Board finding her allegations sufficiently justified that the NLRB itself is asking Apple to give her specified remedies in a settlement, and is scheduling an administrative hearing as part of an official enforcement proceeding by the government against Apple.

While you're right that much journalism is just ghost writing for the wealthy, there's no evidence of that in this article. I think The Register would eagerly write about an NLRB decision against Apple regardless of whether anyone wealthy is pushing the story.
