Apple claimed only 2 docs as evidence to support firing me but refused to give me copies. After I filed this FOIA request to US Dept of Labor asking for my case file, OSHA's response revealed 1 of those 2 docs is an email to Apple legal with Gobbler photos of my naked breasts.

Apple redacted the photo of my naked breasts prior to sending the naked photos of me to OSHA, with Apple claiming my tits are "Apple Confidential."

This is what Apple plans to argue to a jury?

Do you guys remember that time when Apple whistleblowers exposed Apple was secretly recording, storing, & listening to your conversations near any Siri-enabled device? & it was literally people's job to listen to Apple's illegal recordings of you? $95M.

Let 2025 be the year of the cockroach. These huge tech corporations brag about trying to "squash us like bugs," but some of us are cockroaches & are not going anywhere. Instead, we'll sneak attack them & make them shriek when they see we're still alive & fighting. Be a cockroach.

Photo of me dealing with Apple over the last three years:

On Dec. 18 2024, #NLRB finally sued #Apple for Apple illegally threatening, suspending, & firing me in 2021. #BadApple

The hearing is scheduled in 2025. NLRB is asking for, among other things: Apple to apologize to me & rehire me, & Apple to give everyone at Apple (managers & workers) labor rights training.

The case is here: https://www.nlrb.gov/case/32-CA-282142

The complaint is here: https://www.ashleygjovik.com/blog/12182024-nlrb-filed-a-complaint-against-apple-for-illegally-suspending-firing-me-in-2021

Tons of articles today about an employee suing Apple over illegal NDAs & "panopticon" surveillance. Its not my lawsuit & none of these articles even mention my name

Makes me very excited that NLRB may soon finally file their complaint against Apple about Apple firing me in 2021

Apple usually only lets an unfavorable article like this blow up if they can blow it up in a direction that helps them somehow. This one's prob a trick that prevents reporters from writing about a topic twice

Netflix released a new documentary called "Buy Now!" and it is very very good.

I don't know how it got funded, because it actually tells the truth about a lot of controversial topics, such as: illegal dumping of hazardous waste, greenwashing fraud schemes, planned obsolescence, tech worker's personal responsibility to not help their employer cause harm in the world, & the importance of pushing through the pain of neoliberal cognitive dissonance.

Go watch it. Thanks.

Ok I don't like being wrong, but I absolutely love this kind of correction. I was wrong. It wasn't Apple's lawyers who called me. It was the personal phone of a literal Apple Global Security Crisis Manager. That's sloppy bro.

Was this for Tim Apple cause I've been tweeting at him about him firing me?

Right after Apple somehow Jedi-mindtricked the Judge to dismiss tons of my key claims, and for admittedly no good reason - I got a random phone call that I'm 99% sure was Apple's lawyers - pretending to be an Apple worker & trying to get me to say I regret suing Apple. That showed me they're desperate.

@mcv That's not how any of that works, & I find it very strange that you are so emotionally invested in this exchange. I don't know why you feel it necessary to try to influence the voting choices of someone in a completely different country than you - but I think you may want to consider more productive hobbies.

@mcv I am never voting for someone while they are actively facilitating a genocide.

@mcv Editor's note: he's blocked now.

The US election's in a few weeks & I'm voting for Jill Stein.

Stein is an environmentalist & anti-war.

The other candidates are a NYC slumlord/sex offender & a neoliberal cop actively facilitating genocide.

Stein is capable, progressive, & the ethical choice. Vote Stein.

It's bad enough liberals are happily voting for someone sponsoring genocide & war crimes, but its also unsettling so many liberals are intimidating others to do the same; enthusiastically vilifying anti-war beliefs. I keep thinking about Jay's Nazi speech:

🧵 There's no context provided in any of the press coverage about Luca stepping down as Apple CFO. The articles are like: no idea why this happened now! I could not find a single article that mentioned what I found in 2 hour of research: Apple was probed by the US SEC this year.

@pauliehedron You're saying I shouldn't vote for Stein because she allegedly "supports" a war criminal -- but Harris is a war criminal herself now. You FBI too? Lots of FBI on Mastodon these days, wow.

Apple violated regulation 2-1-301 when it built/installed equipment that causes air pollution without 1st getting permission from the gov; then violated -302 by operating for ~8yrs without required permits. Apple violated 307.1 by dumping illegal amounts of NOx & CO into our air.

On Aug 29 2024, BAAQMD formally cited Apple for violating air pollution regulations 2-1-301 & 2-1-302 with their stupid secret fab. Then on September 12 2024 (prob after an inspection?) they cited Apple for four more violations - 301 & 302 again, and also for 9-7-307.1 for illegal emissions of "gaseous pollution."

🧵 Back in July, I filed a formal complaint with California Air Resources Board about Apple's stupid secret fab.

I send them records & told an investigator about how Apple almost manslaughtered me.

The BAAQMD has now already cited Apple for *6* formal violations (illegal air-dumping).

Here's a copy of the receipt of my complaint. I had requested Judicial Notice of it in the civil lawsuit, but the Judge apparently ignored it.

The two claims dismissed with prejudice that are hills I'd die on are ultrahazardous activity (fab) and Cal. Labor Code § 6399.7 (Right to Know / HAZWOPER retaliation). He said they're dismissed and I can't even try to amend. That's unacceptable.
