Apple Store Employee Attempts To Form Union

An anonymous reader writes "Cory Moll, a part-time employee at an Apple store in San Francisco, is attempting unionize Apple store employees. The Apple Retail Workers Union is an attempt to fight for better wages and benefits and to address what he says are unfair practices in the company's glass-and-steel retail showrooms. 'The core issues are definitely involve compensation, pay, benefits,' said Mr. Moll, who has received little public support from employees so far, though he said he has emails expressing support. An Apple representative confirmed Mr. Moll is an employee, but declined to comment on the union effort."

True that. One should negotiate one's wages with a multinational corporation as equal individuals, not go brute force with collective bargaining.

Dude, It's an Apple product

In Apple's case, that's irrelevant because they have slashdot.

Why not?

They already have a cult, why not a union?

It is the goal of producers to maximize profit.

Not at Apple. The goal is to focus on a few features and do them really, really well. Maximizing profit is just a byproduct of that, not a means.

and I doubt most of us could imagine a world without capitalism.

It's easy if you try.
