mounting psychological pressure. Some long-term employees allege they are being systematically pushed out through disciplinary tactics, unattainable metrics, reduced accommodations, and management practices they describe as “bullying” or “quiet firing.”

It certainly would be nice if @sagaftra members that produce content for Apple like @BenStiller would demand that @Apple stop union busting by closing the unionized Apple Retail Store in Towson. @IAM_Union @acoreunion @nyknicks #solidarity #1U
Hello @severance_tv @BenStiller and @DanErixon We are colleagues and we have some similarities at our workplaces. You use collective action to fight back against an exploitative tech company, and so do we! But we need your help. @WGAEast @WGAWest 🧵1/12 appletogether.org/call-for-m…

“Contracted COVID at work. Subsequently hospitalized and diagnosed with long COVID. Gaslit by leadership that I’ve been on leave too long and to consider employment elsewhere. Our soul is our people!” #1u #solidarity

Steve Jobs once said: “A brand is simply trust.” If that is true, then it brings to mind the words of the iconic hip-hop group Public Enemy: “Can’t Truss It” THIS is why we organize. #1U #solidarity

Replying to @AppleLaborers
That’s an understatement! Add the fact that everything possible is being tracked with an internal app. Managers say you’re not hitting your numbers… TERM within 3 weeks.

WATCH: @Labor_Caucus is demanding an investigation into Apple following concerns over the closure of its unionized Towson store. Workers deserve accountability, fairness, and justice when exercising their legally protected right to organize.

A Texas county granted Elon Musk an 100% tax exemption for a proposed TeraFab chip manufacturing facility that could cost upwards of $119 billion to implement over four years. Grimes County will be home to a massive data center that produces high-performance semiconductor chips for Tesla vehicles, robots, and SpaceX systems. Musk won't pay a dime thanks to the tax abatement the county commissioners are giving SpaceX. So who will pay for the complex? The residents of Grimes County when they check their electric bill.
Community note
Grimes County approved a 100% property tax abatement for SpaceX's facility in exchange for $10 million upfront and $20 million annual payments in lieu of taxes over 35 years. statesman.com/business/artic… tomshardware.com/tech-industry/…

The UAW is proud to endorse @AbdulElSayed for U.S. Senate. UAW members in Michigan want a fighter in Washington, D.C. who isn’t afraid to push forward a strong working-class agenda with moral clarity. Having never taken a dime from corporate PACs, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is someone we can trust to have our backs, including when we need it most – like come May Day 2028. From Medicare for All to banning stock buybacks, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is ready, eager, and well-equipped to move our core issues in the U.S. Senate.

A US government agency worker who exposed alleged misuse of data by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) crashed his car after the brakes were cut, court documents show. Daniel Berulis, an IT employee at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), filed an official whistleblower complaint on 14 April 2025 and went public the next day in an article by NPR. He alleged that sensitive NLRB data had been compromised due to meddling by DOGE, and said there had been suspicious log-in attempts from an IP address in Russia. Five days later, he started driving to see his uncle in Maryland, but veered off the road and crashed into a stop sign when he was unable to slow down. He later discovered the brakes had been cut, Wired reported. A mechanic later found the driver-side airbag sensors had been removed “but noted that the remaining wires had been spliced together” so that the car’s system would not alert the driver, according to a police report filed by Berulis. Before his whistleblower complaint, he said, a threatening note had been left on his door with pictures of him walking his dog, which appeared to have been taken by a drone. The night before the crash, Musk shared a post that said DOGE had been “cleared” and that people were calling for the whistleblower to be investigated. “Filing a deliberately false whistleblower claim is a serious crime,” Musk wrote. Underneath, one user wrote: “Snitches get stitches.” Berulis is suing Musk for defamation, alleging that the billionaire put him at risk of violence by spreading false claims that he had illegally lied about DOGE. Berulis’s lawsuit against Musk says that readers of his X post “drew the implication” that Berulis had committed a serious crime. It noted “replies demanding prosecution, jail, harm, or arrest” and said these put Berulis at “increased risk of physical harm”. After Wired approached him, Musk posted on X that a report showed NLRB’s inspector general’s office “lacked a reasonable belief that [Berulis] was disclosing a violation of law, rule, or regulation” and had closed its investigation.
