美国劳工委员会撤销对苹果公司CEO侵犯员工权益的指控
内容总结:
美国劳工关系委员会近日撤销了针对苹果公司的大部分指控,其中包含对首席执行官蒂姆·库克涉嫌侵犯员工权利的认定。该争议源于2021年库克向全体员工发送的内部邮件,其中强调"泄露机密信息者不适合留在公司",并表示将全力追查内部会议信息泄露源头。
根据彭博社报道,劳工委员会现已撤回对苹果的前员工指控清单中多项内容,包括"公司禁止员工披露内部通讯"、"对前员工阿什利·乔维克实施打击性停职及非法解雇"等认定。不过委员会仍保留部分未撤销的指控。值得注意的是,苹果公司今年四月已与乔维克达成和解,承诺修订员工协议中关于薪酬讨论、工作条件协商等条款,明确保障员工合法权益。
同时被撤销的还包括对苹果解雇员工维权领袖帕里什的违法认定,以及"通过保密协议与监控手段限制员工权利"等相关指控。劳工委员会最初认定库克邮件及公司行为构成"对员工合法权益的干涉、限制与胁迫"。
报道指出,此次裁决调整发生在特朗普政府任命的新任委员会主席上任后。截至发稿前,劳工委员会未对具体案情作出进一步说明。
(2025年9月27日更新说明:此前报道中涉及前员工切尔·斯嘉丽的相关指控仍在审理中,特此更正。同时补充了与乔维克达成和解的细节信息。)

美国劳工委员会撤销苹果CEO侵犯员工权益指控
美国国家劳工关系委员会已撤回2021年针对苹果公司提出的大部分指控。该机构特别撤销了关于苹果CEO蒂姆·库克涉嫌侵犯员工权益的指控——2021年库克曾向全体员工发送邮件,明确指出"泄露机密信息者不适合留在公司"。这封邮件还强调,苹果正"竭尽全力追查上周内部会议信息泄露者",当时管理层就薪酬平等与德州反堕胎法等议题回应了员工质询。
库克在邮件中声明:"无论是产品知识产权还是机密会议细节,苹果绝不容忍任何机密信息泄露行为。"目前劳工委员会已撤回前员工阿什利·乔维克提出的部分申诉,包括指控苹果禁止员工披露公司内部通讯、因报复性原因暂停乔维克职务并违法解雇等。但并非所有指控均被撤销。今年四月苹果与乔维克达成单独和解,后者宣称这是劳动者的胜利——根据协议,苹果必须修订员工协议中关于讨论公司信息的条款,明确员工可自由讨论薪酬、工作条件及工会组织事宜,并可接受媒体采访且免遭报复。
除撤销库克邮件的侵权指控外,劳工委员会还撤回对苹果解雇#AppleToo运动领袖詹妮克·帕里什的违法指控,同时取消关于苹果通过制定保密规则、实施监控或制造监控假象等手段违法的先前指控。该机构经调查曾认定,库克邮件及苹果整体行为"干涉、限制并胁迫员工行使合法权利"。
Bloomberg指出,这反映特朗普政府时期劳工委员会对企业展现更友好姿态。本媒体已联系该机构寻求进一步回应。
2025年9月27日东部时间18:42更正说明:前文误称劳工委员会已撤回包括切尔·斯嘉丽在内员工对苹果的指控。事实上斯嘉丽提出的关于薪酬平等、压制薪资讨论及变相解雇等指控仍在审理中。本文亦更新了关于前员工阿什利·乔维克被撤回指控的具体内容,以及苹果与乔维克前期达成的和解协议细节。

US labor board drops allegation that Apple's CEO violated employees' rights
In 2021, Tim Cook sent a staff email that warned people against leaking confidential information.
The National Labor Relations Board has withdrawn "many of the claims" it made against Apple in relation to cases brought in 2021 by former employees, according to Bloomberg. In particular, it dismissed an allegation that Apple CEO Tim Cook violated workers' rights when he sent an all-staff email that year, which said "people who leak confidential information do not belong" in the company. Cook also said in the email that Apple was "doing everything in [its] power to identify those who leaked" information from an internal meeting the previous week, wherein management answered workers' questions about pay equity and Texas’ anti-abortion law.
Apple didn't “tolerate disclosures of confidential information, whether it’s product IP or the details of a confidential meeting," Cook wrote at the time. The NLRB has now withdrawn some of the claims made in complaints by former employee Ashley Gjøvik, including that Apple told employees not to disclose company communications, and that it had suspended Gjøvik in retaliation and fired her unlawfully. But, not all of the allegations have been withdrawn. Apple settled a separate case with Gjøvik back in April, which she announced as a win for workers, as the settlement required Apple to revise rules around employee agreements and discussions of company information to clarify "that employees can talk about their pay, working conditions, and union organizing without retaliation," and speak to the press, among other things.
In addition dropping its claim that Cook's email violated workers' rights, the labor board is also withdrawing its allegation that the firing of activist Janneke Parrish, one of the leaders of the #AppleToo movement, broke the law. It's dismissing its previous allegations that Apple broke the law by imposing confidentiality rules and surveilling workers or making them think they were under surveillance, as well. After an investigation, NLRB previously came to the conclusion that Cook's email and Apple's overall behavior were "interfering with, restraining and coercing employees in the exercise of their rights."
Bloomberg says this is just one instance of the NLRB being more friendly to companies under President Trump. We've reached out to the NLRB for more information.
Correction, September 27, 2025, 6:42PM ET: This story incorrectly stated that the NLRB had withdrawn claims made against Apple in complaints filed by employees including Cher Scarlett. Scarlett's charges against Apple, which relate to pay equity, suppression of wage discussions and constructive discharge, have not been withdrawn or dismissed.
This article has also been updated to include additional information about allegations by former employee Ashley Gjøvik that have been withdrawn, and about Apple's previous settlement with Gjøvik.
