Her responsibility to deal with the minerals supply chain situation is not open-ended; it is scoped by Apple's plans and policies.

Believing your job should be something different from what your employer has hired you to do doesn't put you in a legally protected position; nor does believing that the extent to which your employer pursues a particular objective is insufficient.

Complaining that your boss doesn't let you do something based on your own interpretation of your job description isn't a "discussion of working conditions" in the NLRA sense - that's absurdly over expansive.

Her job was to improve the rare mineral supply chain. Her complaint was that it wasn’t doing that. Seems like a super valid criticism, and what employees should be doing.

This isn't a debate where the moral strength of the argument about the sufficiency of a particular policy carries the day - the employer gets the final say because they're writing the check. Your option as an employee is to leave.

The idea that you can demand to stay in your position and continue to pursue your own agenda is so odd. If you want that kind of freedom, you're not going to find it in corporate life.
