The world’s most valuable company, Apple, has been accused of trying to rush through a pay deal for 4000 Australian staff, mostly in retail stores, that would result in a real wage cut and let it roster store clerks on for up to 60 hours in a week without overtime.
Australian Apple employees, operating under the same name, are now holding briefings with the Australian Services Union and the Retail and Fast Food Workers Union. SDA national secretary Gerard Dwyer accused Apple of “trying to sneak through an agreement” that would send workers backwards while enjoying an image as a prestige firm. Apple’s proposed deal has 2.5 per cent annual minimum pay rises, while inflation was at 6.1 per cent in the June quarter.
“We announced our intention to form a new enterprise agreement in early August, and we welcome the opportunity for participation and engagement with our team members. Throughout this process Apple has not set any deadlines and we will continue to hold regular meetings to share and encourage feedback.”Apple’s previous agreement was signed in 2014 without union involvement in bargaining.
nickbonyhady I thought Apple referred to their 'team' members as geniuses. Should they not pay them like geniuses. As soon as you see management use MBA speak such as team, we are pleased to offer very strong compensation etc you know it's a snow job.
