Apple Together, a group of Apple workers identifying as a solidarity union, called the mandate, which requires employees to return to the office three days a week beginning September 5, prohibitive in the petition.

Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, said in an internal memo last week that the company would allow employees to work from home.

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has no in-person requirements at this point and plans to allow most employees to work from home for a long time.

Apple requires employees to come back to work two to three days a week earlier this year.

In a memo to employees in June, Musk warned them that if they worked more than 40 hours a week, they would be terminated.
