Sure, they are just testing out the activism they were being taught in universities out in the real world and quickly learning that what they were taught in school only works when you pay them (at university), not when they pay you (at work). Oopsies.
"The graveyard is full of people who had the right of way."
(in this case the claimed reason is firing for deleting things from work devices while under investigation)
Umm, what? Truly bizarre reason given. I would think Apple could give a more plausible reason to cover themselves for retaliation for organizing.
With that, and “work phone” (presumably) implying the phone is Apple’s, she may have given Apple a reason to fire her, even if she deleted the app not to hide that she leaked info, but for other reasons.
But of course, that all depends on what exactly happened. Did she know Apple was investigating, did they tell her to hand in here phone for that investigation, etc.
Is The Verge implying that it might violate labour laws to say that people who leak confidential information will be fired? Even for someone from social democratic Scandinavia, it's very hard to object to leakers being fired.

This is exactly the kind of movement that the financial incentives instilled by civil rights laws would create. And it will continue to gradually sap US industry's efficiency.

What baffles me is the Pokémon GO and Robinhood. What, they wanted to see her movement data as well as her share in Bitcoin? That's just dumb. And unless they needed her physical locations and movements at certain times and dates (for which they would need a specific order), they could have simply gone in the location data in the freaking settings!
Apple probably didn’t care about Pokémon Go or Robinhood, and their inclusion in the reported list was probably an attempt to elicit exactly the type of misguided sympathetic reactions we’re now seeing here.
