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!

🧵 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…

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/...
