After four years of deliberation, the National Labor Relations Board has figured out that a company CEO not wanting employees to leak company secrets, isn’t a violation of federal labor laws.
The NLRB has withdrawn its previous claims, which alleged Apple CEO Tim Cook violated labor laws by sending an anti-leaking email to employees.

In 2021, after an all-hands meeting where pay equity was discussed, Tim Cook’s comments were leaked to the press. Cook, understandably frustrated at the leaking of information, sent out an email warning employees. Then Cook’s email leaked, in its entirety.
The NLRB initially said that Apple’s confidentiality policies were “interfering with, restraining, and coercing employees in the exercise of their rights.”
