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.

That's a paradox because as I understand it, you go into an Apple store in the first place to buy yourself a new electronic friend since everyone else in the human race thinks you're an elitist twat.

In Apple's case, that's irrelevant because they have slashdot.
I once took an excursion to Reddit, and later HN. Unlimited up/down voting sucks when dealing with a hive-mind.
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.
You're a dreamer!
