Apple employees want almost 28 euros per hour guaranteed!

Let's start from the beginning. At the end of last week, we learned that certain employees working in Apple Stores were launching their own union, in partnership with the North American organization Workers United. It is above all the Grand Central brand which is concerned. This is located in the heart of the historic station which servesManhattan.

Apple has not yet taken measures to counter this initiative, however the Californian giant quickly published a press release to react to the matter. He highlights his team “amazing” and recalls offering serious advantages to both full-time contracts and those working part-time.

First demands

Among the requests ofFruit Stand Workers United(FSWU), a staggering remuneration of 30 dollars per hour, or a little less than 28 euros at the current exchange rate. Even for New York, which is one of the cities with the highest cost of living, that's a lot. Let's bet that this is, however, a figure intended to be negotiated, in order to obtain a really suitable sum for those interested.

The organizers also specify that membership to the FSWU will be paying; until44 dollars per monthfor those who wish to have their glitches covered. In exchange, credits at reasonable rates will be offered, as well as better assurance of not being fired in the event of a conflict with Apple. Indeed, in this type of case, the union can quickly attract the attention of the media, which has been on the lookout since the beginning of#AppleToo.

Change in HR
