A protest is planned for Saturday at a Chicago Apple store where employees allege managers disciplined and even fired a worker for showing support for Palestinian people through accessories like pins, bracelets, or keffiyeh. This incident has sparked wider controversy, with nearly 300 current and former Apple employees coming forward in an open letter to accuse the company of disciplining or wrongfully terminating staff for their expressions of support for the Palestinian community. The employees are urging Apple's leadership to take a stronger stance in support of Palestinian rights and to cease what they describe as punitive actions against workers voicing their opinions on the Gaza conflict.
