The US National Labor Relations Board has received a new complaint, accusing Apple’s management of restricting, monitoring, and interfering with workers’ rights through unlawful rules regarding the use of Slack.

The complaint filed with the NLRB charges that Apple’s social media policies bar workers from creating new Slack channels, demanding that workplace concerns go to either a manager or an established “People Support” channel. The company said in a statement that it “strongly disagrees” with the new claims, and is committed to maintaining “a positive and inclusive workplace.”
The new accusation follows on the heels of a complaint earlier in October that accused Apple of forcing employees to sign illegal confidentiality, nondisclosure, and non-compete agreements. Now, the NLRB says Apple may be imposing what the board calls “overly broad” misconduct and social media policies.
