Apple supports employees of all political viewpoints, Tim Cook says
The proposal sparked a debate among investors at the event about Apple's progressive policies.
One of Apple's most deeply held values is its openness to people of all different sorts, Cook said. It's open to people of different ethnicities, religions, sexual orientations, and political beliefs, he said. Prior to the question about the conservative worker, Apple shareholders voted on a proposal that would have urged the company to disclose to shareholders the"ideology" of each of its director nominees. In his statement advocating the proposal, Justin Danhof, an attorney at the National Center for Public Policy Research, which submitted it, made clear that it was an effort to ensure that conservative political viewpoints were represented on Apple's board.
In his comments later, Cook argued against the notion that Apple should query potential employees or anyone affiliated with the company about their political beliefs. As a gay man from the South, he learned not to ask people their thoughts on homosexuality, because if he had done that,"you don't have a lot of friends," he said.
