Apple publicly claims to have the “highest standards of labor conduct,” but workers in Maryland described facing relentless union-busting. After today's win, their union called on Tim Cook to fast-track a contract. Apple “declined to comment,” per WSJ. https://twitter.com/...
It's always a great day when workers exercise their right to stand up together. Congratulations to the Apple workers in Towson who formed @acoreunion with the @MachinistsUnion. #1u https://twitter.com/...
@ashleygjovik Apple tells us that “Apple Retail” is more than “just retail” when they set sky-high expectations for employees. When they're called out on their pay/raises relative to that, then they compare themselves to “just retail”.
