I’m sure women will be stoked to have Apple relocate them to a state that could kill them.

Not constructive dismissal, because the goal isn't to place the burden on the employee. On whatever date, they will all be terminated without cause (layoff) if they choose not to relocate. There is no goal of forcing them to quit. Presumably, Apple has filed (or will file in due time) things like the WARN Act notification.

This is a PR move to hide the layoffs from the general public, but not from the law.

Ah that's helpful context, thank you!
