Ok.Keep buying that corporate BS, while Apple's margins are near 40%.
Because they only overpay greedy stockholder driven Corps proudly, workers are another specie.Why does the US have such an aversion to unions?
How is that good for me? I am not in a union. You just listed 5 ways to make prices higher. I understand unions can be good for some union members…but without strong pro union laws they die because the market votes that businesses with them fail due to less ability to compete, to fire people, etc. So the benefits to the workers are clear but it an economic dead weight loss on society.Unions are amazing. Employees cannot be fired at will, their leaders will negotiate raises for employees, if conditions or % of raises aren’t deemed appropriate then there will be additional negotiations. Better benefits. The list goes on and on.
The only proof you need is that all capitalist corporate entities are against unions.
Corporations are not people, they don’t have your best interests in mind (ever), and they are definitely not your friend.

Ok.
And when you go in to get your iPhone looked at, feel free to wait in a very long line while the single person allowed to look at it is on lunch break. Yes, 5 other employees COULD help you, but union laws dictate that is NOT THEIR JOB.
Also hope that person is good and not just there a long time and got promoted for seniority and not actual job performance.
Why does the US have such an aversion to unions?
That is exactly why these large corporations don't want them to take hold...because they'd have to treat their employees better.I wonder why Apple top executives are so busy telling their employees that unions are bad?
I must assume that unions in the US are very different than here in Europe. Here they have helped us with higher salaries, payed absent if you’re sick, parental leave and many more benefits.
Maybe because some of us want to prevent outsourcing more cheap labor to countries with fewer worker protections and/or further price markups?Why does the US have such an aversion to unions?
Decades of corporate influence lying to employees how terrible they are.Why does the US have such an aversion to unions?
Starbucks is slowly shutting down all its union stores. Many union workers get lazy and entitled and they will disrupt the whole store so they are just not worth the hassle and Apple should just shut any union stores down or automate as much as possible.
More big companies should encourage unions not the other way around. I remember way back when I worked at Fedex they made us watch anti-union vhs propaganda. In general unions are good and built the middle class which has been slowly dwindling since 1980. There is always some corruption either way and on both sides.

Even for entry level part time retail jobs?I must assume that unions in the US are very different than here in Europe. Here they have helped us with higher salaries, payed absent if you’re sick, parental leave and many more benefits.
Good for you. Sucks you give up half your paycheck though…US gov taking a third is ****** enough.Stockholm Syndrome.
In Germany unions got us/influenced:
- Paid sick leave
- Paid parental leave
- very good health insurance
- 33 days paid time off in my case
- Security from being fired at will.
And many many more benefits…
Actually that’s the case in many countries. The US is a horrible exception regarding worker‘s right.
Maybe have a look at other countries. Worker’s rights are terrible in the US. In Germany there are also Apple stores and people are treated a lot better.Ok.
