Apple interrogation of NYC worker about union drive illegal: US labor board

The manager of an Apple Inc retail store in Manhattan violated U.S. labor law by asking an employee whether he supported a union campaign, a federal labor board has ruled in its first decision involving the tech giant.

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) in a single-page ruling late on Monday said the manager’s questioning of the worker, who had raised concerns about pay at a group meeting, amounted to unlawful interrogation and upheld a decision by an administrative judge.
