    Today, a group of @Apple retail workers in ATL became the 1st Apple workers in the US to file for an NLRB union election! We're proud to welcome these workers to @CWAUnion & call on Apple to voluntarily recognize the union & reject union-busting tactics. https://news.bloomberglaw…

    I saw it happen with other organizing & I expect Apple to do the same as stores unionize Apple's gonna do the above & also try to create enemies of: -corporate v retail -engineers v everyone else -whistleblowers v unions etc Stay critical, don't bite, & default to solidarity!

    “As we sat back and re-evaluated, what we realized is that we love being at Apple—and leaving Apple, that's not something any of us wants to do. But improving it is something we wanted to do.” https://blawgo.com/pFatVBG

    🧵 When employees start fighting for labor rights, the corporation's favorite weapon to fight back is division Corporations are afraid of workers who know their rights, but they're terrified of those workers supporting each other Don't buy into division. Support each other! 💙

    I am so proud of these retail workers. Starting last summer, they worked hard to be heard on a number of issues in their workplaces. This is one of many stores working towards unionizing. I hope @Apple chooses to support these workers in having a seat at the table. 💞 https://twit…

    @Apple And a reminder that #AppleToo wasn't about corporate workers at all. The vast majority of stories came from retail.

    a lot of people worried a loss in Bessemer would demoralize workers elsewhere. but some of the people at the heart of several recent union drives saw that effort as evidence that there is no reason they couldn't try to organize their own workplaces https://twitter.com/...

    A life cycle: 21 years ago, when the first Apple Store opened, Apple was a symbol of tech as a nerdy, cultish, and marginal aesthetic and aspiration. Since then the cult of Apple and Steve Jobs became the mainstream in business and culture. Now is just another giant employer. htt…
