I’m sure women will be stoked to have Apple relocate them to a state that could kill them.

Lawsuit of 100 people is laughable.

Tech will never unionize, and because of that, are just shilling for billionaires so they can one day make it big. LMAO

The reason why American tech workers haven't unionized is because when times are good, they think they don't need a union, and when times are bad, it's far too late.

You only need 40 people to start a class-action lawsuit

Nothing those employees can do, they're even being offered money and time off to move lol.

Legally, 0 actionable items for a suit.

This is a clear example of constructive dismissal

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I don't understand what kind of magic bullet people think a constructive discharge lawsuit is or what kind of powerful uno reverse card it would be. Winning a constructive discharge lawsuit is basically being legally fired instead of quiting...they'd probably get less from that lawsuit (not even counting the time and legal fees) than if they just accepted Apples package. What is a constructive discharge lawsuit supposed to do here?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I agree, but I don't think that's even close to a reasonable reason to sue.

I don't like that, but I'm just making the argument that the 1% doesn't give 2 shits either way.
