    I would like to see AppleInsider read the contract and compare its benefits with the benefits Apple employees get when they aren't unionized. That would be interesting and relevant to Apple news followers.
    I would also be interested in knowing about the "arbitrary metrics."  I would interpret the more equitable pay model that ignores "arbitrary metrics" to mean that pay will be less or not based on performance and that would kind of screw over the best people in favor of the slackers.   To my mind, unionization makes the best sense in situations where individual contribution can't be measured as was often the case in the early industrial era.

    This Apple Store is a lovely building on what I think is Glasgow's nicest shopping street.  

    This unionization effort is very much in character for Glasgow.  When I was last there in July, there were posters everywhere promoting socialist revolution.  


    So those who do no work continue to scrape by and get the sam pay rise anyway.

    "overworked"

    I've never really understood that term when it comes to an hourly retail job.
    The principle of being overworked is exactly the same for an hourly or salaried employee.

  • Apple subreddit reopens after moderation team threatened with removal

    ‘and is apparently unaware that Reddit's success is because of the posts by the users that use the service in all of its forms’

    Not apparentl at all. Users on third party apps represent a small % of total users.

  • Even with so many demonstrated use cases, Apple Vision Pro might not yet have a purpose

    All this talk about reality pro ‘not solving a problem’. The iPad wasn’t solving a problem, it was a big iPhone according to everyone and look at it’s success. I think what many people can’t get their heads around is Apple have entered a market which is still in its infancy and it has revolutionised to a degree but the tech just isn’t there yet to make it mainstream. I think it had to be released now to take a bet on AR going somewhere rather than waiting to see if it gets big and being too late to the game. It builds credibility for them in this field as they continue to refine it.
