The labor movement has finally made its way to Apple. According to the Washington Post, retail employees at the tech giant are beginning to quietly unionize, in part because hourly wages have remained stagnant while Apples profit margins soar.
Two store locations are preparing to file paperwork with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and a half dozen more are in earlier stages, said employees who spoke to WaPo on the condition of anonymity (full disclosure: this reporter spent several years working at several Apple retail locations). One particularly telling detail, according to WaPo: suspicious of snooping by Apple, many organizers have switched to Android phones to avoid any potential spying
That might sound alarmist, but in 2021 Apple fired an employee named Ashley Gjøvik who alleged sexual harassment, environmental concerns and surveillance at the company.
