A federal agency said it found evidence that Apple executives and company policy broke labor laws. The decision stems from cases filed by former employees who say Apple violated their rights. The NLRB will prosecute if Apple doesn't settle with former employees who have raised complaints. The federal agency confirmed to Insider that it found merit that charges concerning statements by high-level executives at Apple, as well as company policies, violated the National Labor Relations Act.
