Re: The end of Apple
If any Apple employee quits over this the government is faced with a difficult problem in trying to coerce them into doing the work they refused to work on while at Apple and resigned in protest.
The work the government would be demanding would be covered under the employment contract with Apple as prohibited for a specified period after their resigning. The government would have to then make the argument in court that the national need justifies the voiding of specific contract provisions that courts have upheld for decades.
The ramifications across business and industry would reach far beyond just Silicon Valley.
