US Labor Board Drops Apple CEO Allegations
The US labor board, which looks out for workers, has stopped its claims against Apple's CEO, Tim Cook.
The board had previously said he might have broken rules about how he treated employees.
This happened after an email Cook sent about finding people who leaked information from a confidential meeting.
The board changed its mind after a new leader took over, who seems to be more friendly towards businesses.
This means the board won't pursue the case anymore, changing its focus on workers' rights.
The US labor board withdrew allegations against Apple CEO Tim Cook.
The allegations were related to a 2021 email from Cook regarding leaks.
The NLRB under a new general counsel, is taking a more business-friendly approach.
The claims being dismissed include accusations of violating workers' rights.
