<article> <section class="page"> <p> Apple has championed the causes of marriage equality and environmental sustainability in recent years, so its employees looked to the company’s leadership in the wake of President Donald Trump’s executive order on immigration from predominantly Muslim countries. The order, which restricts immigration from seven countries and outright bans refugees from Syria, was handed down late Friday and led to protests in several U.S. cities and at airports where refugees were being detained.</p><p> “Apple would not exist without immigration, let alone thrive and innovate the way we do,” Apple CEO Tim Cook wrote in an email to the company’s employees, later published by Re/code (http://www.recode.net/2017/1/28/14425952/tim-cook-donald-trump). “I’ve heard from many of you who are deeply concerned about the executive order issued yesterday restricting immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries. I share your concerns. It is not a policy we support.”</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3162998/leadership-management/tim-cook-apple-would-not-exist-without-immigration.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Tim Cook: ‘Apple would not exist without immigration’ (http://www.macworld.com/article/3162998/leadership-management/tim-cook-apple-would-not-exist-without-immigration.html#tk.rss_all) |
