Default Apple Prepares to Crush Apple Store Unions

On Nov 9, 8:42*am, Ombudsman wrote:
"Starting today, Apple Store managers will have to undergo
euphemistically-titled "union awareness" training, to learn about
attempts by employees to unionize. It's safe to say Apple doesn't want
unions getting in the way of their creepily efficient customer service.

While there are plenty of worse places you could be working than the
Apple Store, all is not perfect in the gleaming temples to consumerism.
Workers complain of rigorous hours and low pay, like any retail job, as
well as Apple-specific hardships, the constant threat of censure for
something as trivial as saying "unfortunately" too much.

Apple must be feeling the heat from a potential populist Genius
uprising. One Apple Store employee launched an effort to unionize US
Stores this summer; in Italy, Apple Store employees have already gone on
strike for improved working conditions."

Will HK rid himself of Apple products, or remain a hypocrite?


Whats this got to do with Boats? Nothing.
