Apple workers in Atlanta drop union vote request, citing intimidation tactics
tehabe said:RudeBoyRudy said:davidmalcolm said:All this anti-union nonsense from Apple is really sickening. As a share holder I would gladly give up my dividends if it meant Apple was ethically taking care of their workers. Unfortunately Tim would rather pal around with the sociopaths ruining the world in Davos than take care of his workers.I’m normally not one to harp on how much I liked Jobs over Cook. But Steve would have found a way to connect with the workers and make them feel heard instead of paying millions to a shady law firm to commit crimes and union bust.Apple’s unethical behaviour here isn’t even in line with the standards they set for suppliers. And that’s the thing that really bothers Me.
what proof do you have of Apple's unethical behavior of their employees? please share your findings or take a seat and stop trolling. -

AniMill said:No one knows nuthn. Why is anyone insulting the workers who seek representation? I question both groups tactics and intentions, but to name-call the employees as “Communists” is farcical and the worst hypocrisy when our own GOP has followed EVERY tactic communist ideology has wrought on citizens all over the world.
But, yeah...typical GQP fever-dream stuff. Not saying that unions aren't above ballot-stuffing or other seriously corrupt behavior, but this kind of nonsense is equally prevalent on both the extreme right AND left. Nobody is innocent of it, and they're all detrimental to our democracy. -
Apple ramps up work on fully autonomous 'Apple Car,' targets 2025 release
fastasleep said:mortarman81mm said:Apple won’t build a car for sale; that’s a ludicrous idea.They’ll make the chip, sensors, and SW and sell those to automakers, rather than making the car itself.Follows the CarPlay model, leverages the relationships and contacts they’ve made with CarPlay, and doesn’t have NEARLY the cost of entry manufacturing a car themselves would entail.CarPlay is literally just an extension of the iPhone and is absolutely nothing like what you’re describing with Titan.
Well done.
If you knew anything about business, you'd understand the barriers to entry in automotive manufacturing are incredibly high, and the cost of entry is equally ridiculous. Tesla started in 2003 and didn't turn a full year's profit until 2020. Apple's not in the business of running losses in a business unit and impacting their share price.
The only way Apple gets into the manufacturing side is by partnering with an existing manufacturer, and that doesn't offer enough differentiation for them to do it. No manufacturer would allocate a portion of their capacity for the inevitable customization Apple would require for anything they put their marque on.
