  • Apple to pay $25 million settlement over illegally favoring immigrant workers

    Is that demonstrably true?

    I’m not being snarky, actually curious. 
    Yes. There are numerous extensive studies over decades showing that a more diverse group will produce better work than non-diverse groups.
    It is complex. China has been very successful by promoting a homogeneous workforce and society though state control, enforced ideology and censorship. Japan has also had success by keeping its society homogeneous and conformist. I personally enjoy a diverse work place and I think it has many benefits but it is not the only path to success.

  • Apple petitioned India for slacker labor laws, and unions are fighting back

    It is a bit different operating in a democracy. Indian workers cannot be exploited like their Chinese counterparts. May be the workers who make the incredibly profitable iPhone can get more of a share of the profits for their labour through higher wages and better conditions.

  • Atlanta, GA Apple retail workers plan to file for union election

    Good on them. In Most western countries workers have paid 4 weeks vacation as a minimum, 2 weeks paid sick leave, paid maternity/paternity  leave. Apple can afford to share more of their profits  with the workers who help creat it. 


    Apple like to be left wing on social issues but on economic issues not so much. 

    Given inflation if your wages are not going up by 7%+ per year you are effectively taking a pay cut.
