Apple has been coaching retail store managers on how to try and talk employees out of unionizing, according to Vice<\/em><\/a>. The report says the company has sent around a document full of talking points like \u201can outside union that doesn\u2019t know Apple\u201d or its culture, or \u201cmost union contracts give preference based on seniority.\u201d The document also encourages store leaders to \u201ctouch base\u201d with employees about potential union activity.<\/p>\n
This comes at a time when there are union drives at several Apple retail stores \u2014 two have officially<\/a> petitioned<\/a> the National Labor Relations Board to hold union elections, and another is looking to do so<\/a>. It\u2019s been pretty clear that Apple would try to fight these efforts; the company hired anti-union lawyers<\/a>, and at least one worker has told The Verge<\/em> that the company held a captive audience meeting to spread anti-union talking points. However, it\u2019s still interesting to get a look at exactly the types of arguments the company is using.<\/p>\n
\nWhat if the union you voted for is bad, actually?<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\nThe document, which is embedded in Vice<\/em>\u2019s report<\/a>, says it may not be possible for store employees to work together as a team if a union represents them, saying that a union \u201cwould actually speak for<\/strong><\/em>\u201d employees about work-related issues (emphasis original). It gives managers an example to cite as a time when Apple listened to retail employees\u2019 feedback and made changes based on it, and then warns that a union could \u201cmake things more complex and rigid.\u201d Leaders, according to the document, \u201cwouldn\u2019t have the flexibility to act in the moment or to address each person\u2019s unique needs.\u201d<\/p>\n
There are also points that warn about \u201ca rigid union contract that must be followed at all times\u201d making it difficult for employees to seize unusual opportunities, or receive merit-based benefits. What if a union contract made it so employees could only do exactly what their job description says, it asks.<\/p>\n
According to Vice<\/em>, managers at some Apple Stores have been passing the company\u2019s message on during weekly meetings. <\/p>\n
If some of those points sound familiar, it\u2019s likely because they\u2019re similar to the ones used by other companies. In the lead-up to its own union elections, Amazon reportedly held captive audience meetings where workers were told that union negotiators\u2019 interests may not line up with theirs. The company\u2019s CEO called unions \u201cslower and more bureaucratic\u201d<\/a> compared to employees having a direct connection with their managers. <\/p>\n
It\u2019s also worth noting that even Apple\u2019s talking points acknowledge that the supposed downsides aren\u2019t something inherent to unions \u2014 contracts don\u2019t have<\/em> to enforce rigid working conditions, or give preference to seniority. And while there are<\/a> established<\/a> unions<\/a> involved with the union drives at Apple stores, the organizers themselves are Apple employees, despite the company\u2019s claims about \u201cplacing many of our interactions into the hands of a third party.\u201d<\/p>\n
