Price increase! Serves the morons who buy Apple right.

Workers said pay and benefits were good, but complained that
managers’ practices often seemed arbitrary.

Apple employees at a store in Oklahoma City have voted to
unionize, becoming the second of the company’s roughly 270 U.S.
retail stores to do so.

The result, announced by the National Labor Relations Board on
Friday night, suggests that an initial victory by a union at a
store in Towson, Md., in June was not an isolated development in
an organizing campaign that dates back to last year.

According to the labor board, 56 employees voted in favor of the
union and 32 voted against. The workers will be represented by
the Communications Workers of America, which has members at AT&T
Mobility, Verizon and media companies like The New York Times,
and has sought to represent tech-industry workers in recent
years.

In interviews, employees at the store said that they received
solid benefits, like health care, stock grants and paid family
leave, and that their pay had improved over the past several
months — the company recently raised the minimum starting wage
at its stores to $22 an hour.

But they complained that supervisors’ decisions about hiring,
pay and job assignments were often opaque and said a union would
bring greater transparency to their store.
