Apple workers is anti union? WTF, i thought apple was one of the most liberal leaning corporations

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago

There are two reasons to avoid a union:

  1. Fear of retaliation - Amazon et al.
  2. Perceived lack of need.

If you are well looked after by your company and are treated fairly, there is no need to create a union.

Apple may be in this category?

Liberals don't have the interests of the working class at heart

That's... Exactly why they would be anti union?

Because companies like Apple, Google, etc. treat their engineers extremely well in order to attract the best talent. Why unionize if you're payed a ton of money, have unlimited PTO and work in a very casual office environment (or from home)?

Apple employees lack class consciousness. They don’t understand that they too are working class, because they too have to sell their labor to survive. You can be pro-choice, pro-LGBTQ+, pro-DEI, etc. while still being oblivious to the class war.
