The employee behind the #AppleToo protest is leaving the company
Cher Scarlett, one of the lead organizers of the #AppleToo movement, is leaving the company on Friday. Scarlett was the face of the movement and connected with workers with grievances to air via Apple’s Slack channels and on social media. The former Apple security engineer was also one of the workers who filed a complaint against the tech giant with the National Labor Relations Board, accusing the company of suppressing workers’ organizing efforts and interfering with surveys involving gender pay equity.
According to Bloomberg, Scarlett reached a settlement with the iPhonemaker regarding the NLRB complaint and has already requested a withdrawal. She didn’t divulge the details of the settlement, but her lawyer Alek Felstiner, told Bloomberg News: “The matter was settled privately and the request for withdrawal is pending before the board. We hope the crucial organizing work at Apple will continue.”
Friday is my last day at Apple.

🖤
