Atlanta Apple Store Workers File for Company's First Union Election in US

to file paperwork with the NLRB, are fighting for livable wages, cost-of-living adjustments, and stock options—all standard benefits for Apple office workers.

"A number of us have been here for many years, and we don't think you stick at a place unless you love it," Bowles said in a statement."Apple is a profoundly positive place to work, but we know that the company can better live up to their ideals and so we're excited to be joining together with our coworkers to bring Apple to the negotiating table and make this an even better place to work."Organizers say that pay at the store falls below the living wage for Atlanta.

The frontline workers who sell and repair iPhones, MacBooks, and iPads, however, told the newspaper"they haven't shared in the company's gains. Apple retail employees can earn anywhere from $17 to more than $30 per hour, depending on their market and position, and receive between $1,000 and around $2,000 in stock, they said. But those wages have not kept up with inflation over the years, they say, which means retail employees are making less as they sell more Apple products.
