A small group of demonstrators disrupted the Lincoln Park Apple Store in Chicago on Saturday to protest Apple’s use of labor in Africa and its disciplining of at least one employee wearing pro-Palestinian clothing items.
The group, which claims some 300 members who say they are current or former Apple employees, said the firing at the Lincoln Park store was not an isolated incident.
“In fact, anyone who has dared to express support of the Palestinian people in the form of kaffiyehs, pins, bracelets, or clothing, has been actioned against under the guise of breaking business conduct’ and creating a harmful environment,” the letter said.
