Apple retail union organizers want workers to be paid at least $30 per hour

[Rekkapryde]

Minimum wage was 2.65 in 1978....with inflation that should be 11.70 now.

There are still 25 states where Fed Minimum wage still isn't double figures in dollar per hour.

Only 15 states above that 11.70 adjusted inflation wage.

shoot for 30, hopefully they get at least 20. apple is the most valuable company on the fukkin planet, they should be gettin it

Nah fck them cellphones companies. They some slick b*stards raking in billions I remember when you use to be able to sign up for a new phone for a penny with a contract. $150 cancelation fee if you leave before 2 years. Early upgrades was like $50.

Now them slick mfers said forget the contract and we'll put you on a payment plan for a $1500 phone. And if you want to upgrade or cancel, give the phone back. Thats bullshyt and they know it. Fck them mfers.

The entitled ass nikkas in this thread are showing out

fixed.

Retail work is the bottom of the barrel. If you want to make $30+/hr get a skill the pays a commensurate wage.

This discussion is hilarious to me because I know for a fact that maybe 5% of the nikkas in this thread make at least $30 an hr.

What should these workers get paid in 2022?

LOL 30 dollars an hour to sell a cell phone get the fukk out of here.

Last time I was in the store dude didn't even know the difference from a USB-C cable and Thunderbolt 3 cable.

high tides raise all boats sir.
Also why defend a company literally worth a TRILLLION dollars?
They can more than afford to pay their employees a living wage, which IN NYC, should be 30.

What do you believe is a fair wage?

The median income in the US is about $35k, so a retail worker shouldn't make more than the median income.

Fortune 500 bouta take some Ls if the people get what they want. bytch you got the money, break bread. Everybody becomes happy and eventually profits will make it seem like you never even gave out a raise

So cap their social mobility and economic prosperity, while CEOs make more than ever?

Sounds real encouraging for their working morale

50 percent of this country earn less than 50k annually for the HOUSEHOLD.

70 percent of the workforce can no longer afford a middle class living, 78 percent of all workers are in the service industry, the U.S. is ran on a service economy.


What do you think 78 percent of the working class should be earning?

Only 1 McDonald's my way is still 24 hours, and they had to pay they workers almost $21 an hour overnight. Everything else shuts down by 9pm. On weekend nights.

Maybe a Walmart type worker. Sure.

But a cellphone salesman must learn the product and services provided and convey that to the customer. The sales person must endure hours of badgering from customers explaining that bullshyt bill they received in the mail from the company.

And its usually a crew of 8 or less in any given store. So why not pay them at least $25 an hour?

Some crabs in a barrel in here. They don’t want anyone to make it out.

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

6 figures for this? That's more than some of the people who develop the software for the damn phones they be selling make

can you imagine "apple retail workers make 100k, so I'd like a raise to at least 80k" - best buy employee

If this raises salaries and wages to keep up with cost of living after all these years of stagnation I'm with it lol

As a former blue shirt, I would take 90k with them dumbasses, the constant managers begging for fukking TTS and BP (Blue shirts know what it is), and having to be on your fukking feet while dealing with even more dumbasses.

Such a deflating job that doesn't pay enough for entire hell folks go through
