  • Damn, OP, what a fail of a link.

    Some 85 employees of the first unionized Apple Store in Towson, Maryland will vote on the first union-negotiated agreement with Apple to improve working conditions on August 6th, 2024.

    The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers’ Coalition of Organized Retail Employees (IAM-CORE) negotiated the tentative agreement between the retail workers and Apple.

    The new agreement, which would be good for three years, includes better work-life balance on scheduling and pay raises. Both areas had been a complaint amongst the workers at the Towson Store.

    Other improvements include rules on transparency, a severance clause, and limits on contracted employees. All current benefits are preserved, and there is an agreement to bargain over any future additions, the union said in a statement.

    “We’re extremely proud to be the first union to take on this fight for Apple workers,” said IAM Eastern Territory General Vice President David Sullivan. “The true partnership between the IAM, IAM CORE and Apple workers has led us to this historic moment.”

    The workers at the Towson Apple Store voted to join the union in June of 2022. The 85 workers, the union and Apple began negotiating a formal agreement in May of 2023. After a year of what the union called stalling tactics by the store’s management, workers voted to authorize a strike sanction against the company in June 2024.

    There are only a handful of Apple retail stores that have unionized staff. The staff at the store in Reston, Virginia documented Apple management’s stalling tactics in a secret video taken during negotiations.

    The US National Labor Relations Board has twice ruled that Apple has broken the law with regards to labor relations. The NLRB found Apple guilty of denying unionized stores the same benefits it gave non-unionized stores, and also conducted illegal interrogations of union staff at its World Trade Center store in New York City.














  • So now youre changing your excuses. And you still didn’t address the root of all the drama you’re causing. Good job avoiding any kind of personal responsibility for all the drama and creating even more. Have you gone to lemmy.ml and demanded the same thing? What about beehaw? What about any other instance than this one? Maybe you should just defed from this instance instead of demanding a bunch of stuff that may not even help your original issue. Or any of the other issues you keep bringing up.

    Again, did you even try to contact the admins prior to this? Did you ask the devs of lemmy for assistance? Did you do anything other than make up excuses in your head to hate lemmy.world?

    Edit: You’re probably making all this stuff up since you don’t want to address anything.


  • If you’re too old for internet drama, why are you starting it? There’s more mature ways to go about this than petitioning to have an instance that isn’t yours shut down registration.

    You also don’t seem willing to work with the admins to figure out what is really wrong.

    If you have an issue, take it up with the admins privately before jumping to conclusions and starting a petition that doesn’t even do anything except cause drama.
