You can provide public comment about Apple's stupid, secret #chipfab in person or on Zoom. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD @nprofile…76fl That's a great question and I'm not sure npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD After Apple's own lawyer became the new NLRB General Counsel, NLRB abruptly dismissed its complaint against Apple for unlawfully suspending & firing me. I appealed last fall. Today NLRB upheld the dismissal based on NLRB's "unreviewable final authority" to do whatever NLRB wants npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD 🧵My lawsuit says Apple retaliated against me for complaints abt my office on 3x Superfund toxic waste dump site (cracked floor w/ history of vapor intrusion, & me getting EPA inspection). Court made Apple finally produce docs. Oh boy, you guys... npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD Join me at 450 Golden Gate Ave, SF, outside the Phillip Burton Federal Building on Thurs April 2 2026 for a rally & press conference in protest of the March 30 gag order issued in my case, & in support of worker's rights to speak out, grieve, & organize: https://www.ashleygjovik.com/blog/federal-court-approves-apples-demand-for-a-gag-order-on-workers-about-work-conditions-apples-misconduct npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD Hey folks, I'm asking for financial assistance. In 2025, my only income was half a year of unemployment insurance. It wasn't enough $ to cover rent/utilities if I paid taxes, so I didn't pay taxes, but now the gov wants those taxes. I owe $1,944 in state + federal. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD @nprofile…rdan npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD Things in my life right now are very bad and unstable, so the last thing I needed was more litigation. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD "Former Apple employee Ashley Gjøvik moved into one of the adjacent apartments in 2020 only to fall badly ill with indications of chemical poisoning, she told SFGATE. She didn't know what was happening at first, she said, but after she arrived she started suddenly having chest pains, strange rashes, arrhythmia and numbness. She regularly fainted. When she got her blood and urine tested that September, she said, the results showed arsenic, mercury, toluene and xylene." npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD Apple unlawfully fired me more than 4 years ago. I had already filed charges, asked for hearings, & was immediately prepared to make my case. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD Civil litigation update -- I filed a request for interrogatories and asked Apple to explain the details of their affirmative defenses in my retaliation lawsuit. Apple's response tonight claimed that in me filing that request, because of all their boiler plate and vague defenses, that I actually filed 56 requests and they won't answer anymore interrogatories from me ever again. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD We're organizing a rally on Sat. 8/16/25 (12pm) at Apple's secret fab that nearly killed me in 2020 & made multiple people severely ill. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD Apple: antitrust enforcement creates a public safety issue so DOJ should let Apple violate antitrust laws, to keep the public safe npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD Apparently shrews are very rarely seen and grossly understudied, and several are endangered in Massachusetts. Talked to state EPA today and they might be able to get someone to rescue it from my apartment. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD Hi. I'm fundraising to pay my bankruptcy filing fee ($338) and for two bankruptcy legal guides ($285). If you are in the position to be able to help, please consider assisting me in getting this filed & in doing this thing with some dignity. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD "What if the rupture of these tumultuous times is not an ending, but an opening?... npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD Apple recently hired dozens of IDF intelligence agents from Unit 8200. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD Over the last two weeks, two banks called threatening to sue me, forcing me to file bankruptcy now; while a water heater next to my apartment exploded flooding my unit, taking the wall with it, & requiring a week of clean-up & repair. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD To be clear: I had complained to Apple's lawyers that I can't afford my psych meds & I wanted them to stop threatening me with sanctions for no reason because my PTSD can cause suicidal ideation. The court said I'm not allowed to complain or ask them to stop, & ok'd their conduct npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD The Gjovik v Apple hearing earlier this week was very traumatic. Apple got the court's explicit okay to harass me to extent I might off myself & the court said it was misconduct by me to complain. I was shellshocked for a few days, but I'm ok now, I think because I always knew Apple was this evil. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD My PTSD symptoms have been very bad this week due to Apple's latest ambush and I have to say, the very last thing I need right now is 2-3 days of fireworks explosion noises. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD 🚨 Gjovik v Apple update!!! ⚖️ npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD During my recent bio research, I've accumulated a long list of academic grievances and am slowly working through resolving them all. Yesterday I addressed the habit of researchers to still act like complex life could have evolved on land prior to 600MYA. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD Not many people can say they’ve spent four years in a hand-to-hand legal knife fight with a giant corporation. I don’t recommend it. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD It's come to my attention that someone (cough cough) placed my personal website on some sort of global spam list. This would help explain why my posts with links to this site often appear throttled. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD Today, I’m proud to share the launch of Silentium Fractum, the first issue of The Journal of Structural Power & Resistance — a self-published, open-access academic journal that documents how powerful institutions weaponize legal systems, and how those systems can be tactically resisted. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD I just woke up after sleeping for 16 hours straight. I was apparently very tried. I don't think I've actually got a full night's sleep since Apple was threatening me with another gag order last Monday, and trying to make me help them file the request. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD Today, I filed two significant documents with the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, marking critical steps in my ongoing fight for accountability, justice, and transparency against Apple Computer. You can read more about it here: https://www.ashleygjovik.com/blog/52025-response-in-support-of-motion-for-injunctive-relief npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD Gjovik v Apple update: npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD Tomorrow, Apple's planning on trying to trick the court into granting a super-overbroad gag-order against me, about my complaints about face-Gobbler & ear canals, enforceable by contempt of court (including jail - again). I'm literally having nightmares about it. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD Anyone want to help with some legal research for the Gjovik v Apple appeal? npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD ⚖️ Gjovik v Apple Update: NLRB just formally served Apple the final compliance packet. Apple must submit proof of posting to the NLRB by 4/28. The final documents include: the settlement agreement; compliance instructions; & posting obligations. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD "Apple thought fear could hold its system together," Gjøvik told The Register. "But unlawful policies don’t become lawful just because people are afraid to challenge them. This federal enforcement action revealed how deeply Apple’s power depended on silencing its workers — and how fragile that power truly is." npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD Apple’s unlawful worker policies were dismantled under federal enforcement action. Law360 covered the mandated changes and my active cases against Apple over whistleblower retaliation, labor violations, and unlawful surveillance. Article: https://www.law360.com/articles/2323200/apple-agrees-to-revise-some-worker-policies-in-nlrb-deal npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD Discovery in public interest lawsuits is supposed to be a service to the press and public, in addition to the plaintiff. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD My current litigation mini-battle with Apple is over "confidentiality" in discovery. I told Apple if I get any discovery docs from them that are important to Apple worker's labor rights and/or public safety, I intend to share it with public & government. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD I love how utility companies send out these aesthetically pleasing newsletters with sections on "how to reduce your utility bill" and its basically just the corporation asking you if you've tried turning your heat off and wearing a sweater instead. Idk, maybe lower your prices. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD Support request! I've been tolling away on some legal filings for a week & am already late on a few of them. I need to wrap them up today but I'm still feeling really sick & exhausted. The work is stressful & difficult, but important. Please send cute animal pics & catchy songs. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD Apple claimed only 2 docs as evidence to support firing me but refused to give me copies. After I filed this FOIA request to US Dept of Labor asking for my case file, OSHA's response revealed 1 of those 2 docs is an email to Apple legal with Gobbler photos of my naked breasts. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD Infectious Disease was able to schedule an appointment for Monday, but that's the only opening they had in the next few weeks, and it conflicts with the civil settlement conference. I'm asking Apple & the court for permission for me to go to ID during the conf to try to not die. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD ICYMI: npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD Do you guys remember that time when Apple whistleblowers exposed Apple was secretly recording, storing, & listening to your conversations near any Siri-enabled device? & it was literally people's job to listen to Apple's illegal recordings of you? $95M. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD NLRB just filed an update on my charge against Apple over Apple's draconian secrecy & panopticon surveillance policies... npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD Does anyone else say please & thank you to ChatGPT? npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD Dafuq npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD I thought about this for a while. I'm going to do something kinda outrageous. I'm posting the entire OSHA case file publicly, because its FOIA public records. These cases are almost always buried in secret; so let's shine some light. 💡 ⚖️ npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD About an hour ago, the US NLRB filed a lawsuit against Apple Inc for illegally suspending me, illegally firing me, & for making up a bunch of crazy, illegal rules about how I'm now allowed to talk about workplace safety or work conditions. #BadApple It took 3yrs, but NLRB finally filed it! Hurrah! npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD I worked at Apple for over six years & interacted with many executives during that time. One story Apple often tells itself is that Apple employees are exceptional & "the best people." Apple then gaslights, alienates, & negs - so workers feel like both a god & like trash. This is something cults do. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD I really enjoy the Stuff You Should Know podcast, & they did an excellent job on these two recent ADHD episodes. I've been diagnosed & treated for ADHD for over 26 years & I still learned a bunch of new things. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD Appeal update: I still haven't heard anything from 9thC, but it seems likely now, at least for my § 17200 antitrust claim over Apple's creepy secret experiments on their employees, and highly unlawful dogfood practices (like 24/7 biometric surveillance...) npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD I finally got my website updated with all the latest Gjovik v Apple developments! If you're trying to catch up on the latest happenings, the RSS should help: npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD There aren't clear rules for appeals other than colors of paper etc. I think its mostly lawyers going with their gut for each case. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD I have to do a lot of work in response to the crappy civil decision last week - requiring me to read & re-read in detail the decision, & compare to my filings. There's a lot of stuff I expressly said / protested / cited that the decision goes on to say I never mentioned & I conceded, even though prior I literally wrote over & over "I DO NOT CONCEDE." npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD You guys. NLRB is actually going to go after Apple for Apple's creepy panopticon surveillance of their employees. 💀 🖤 npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD 🎉 My final U.S. Dept of Labor toxic-waste-whistleblower appellant brief & appendix are now efiled! ☑️☑️ npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD Judge got v upset when he thought I was interrupting him & started ordering punishments: including losing Zoom privileges npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD I want to constantly remind you guys why lawyers generally refuse to litigate complex #employment cases against huge, litigious #corporations - & instead insist the worker has to shut up & settle right away. (& remind you to think about how much corporate #misconduct there must be that we do not know about because of this.) npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD The first Settlement Conference hearing for Gjovik v Apple is in a few hours. Apple's lawyers have been acting wild about it already & I still don't think they want to settle & are just delaying. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD Why is Santa Clara County Sheriff's office at a Palestine/Congo protest at Apple Park today? npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD Today, at Apple Park, we handed out these printed fliers to help educate people about Apple's creative, local environmental crimes. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD If you're around Apple Park in Cupertino today and you don't like genocide, please stop by the Apple Park Visitor Center and join the rally calling for Apple to stand with #Palestine npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD When people look back at this period, when we are on notice that climate collapse is imminent, & they see our response (dramatically increasing env degradation with a shameless "Generative AI" craze), they're going to make an Idiocracy about us - if anyone's still alive. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD Not sure how long Apple will drag this out but they still only have employment lawyers managing complex high-stakes toxic tort claims. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD The Judge said he'll issue a decision on Apple's latest Motion to Dismiss later this week or next week. Apple's trying to dismiss 95% of my lawsuit. I think I should keep all my claims and Apple's arguments are really dumb, but who knows what will happen. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD In good news, while inspecting my 2020 clothing, I'm finding all sorts of additional evidence of material degradation due to industrial chemical exposure & am filling an "evidence" container with a variety of uniquely damaged materials. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD I'm unpacking & organizing my old clothes now that I can finally fit in them again npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD Even long after this lawsuit is resolved, and I've moved on with my life, I don't know how I'll ever be able to explain Apple's legal defense to someone and keep a straight face. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD If you're looking to get up to speed on my situation with Apple, my recent talk at the 2024 LaborFest summarizes my whistleblower story & then deep-dives into Apple's environmental crimes, & explains the science & policy rationale behind why I kicked Apple's a$$ about it. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD You guys. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD Ok, the more I thought about it, the more I've accepted the Judge's Order on discovery yesterday. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD I've been thinking about how happy I am I decided to sue Apple directly. We were waiting for years and years to see if the government would do anything at all on their own, but now that I pinned Apple in court, it feels like we're all playing a very spirited soccer game together against them. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD Ok some good news too: npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD 🚨 Fundraiser time! I won't know what happened at the hearing until I get transcripts. Apple ordered first batch released in 14dys, & if I order "same" it's $30. But I could order a 3-day release (Tuesday!).

Gjøvik, JD You guys, I really need some high-fives and support please! Apple's trying to do me dirty in the civil lawsuit. After they filed naughty replies I knew I had to file some response.

Gjøvik, JD I don't know, I'm new here, but maybe a good first step in ensuring businesses design proper exhaust systems is to provide standards and best practices for free instead of charging nearly nine hundred dollars. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M. Gjøvik, JD Apple's still dicking around about discovery & so far hasn't given me a single thing I've asked for. npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M.

Over the course of their shifts, workers come in contact with dozens of carcinogens, including toluene, cadmium, arsenic, benzene, & TCE. They also can’t escape compounds created whose toxicity has never been tested, except on them." npub1yx698d65su0grdn6nmmcwrj848x9djwat8pktc6tzpshacq437hsal4dvf Ashley M.
