Apple store employee seeks to plant union seed

Because it's not the freedom to associate, it's collusion to fix prices. If businesses colluded in this way, would we respect their freedom to associate? Of course not, we'd shut them down for violating antitrust laws, and rightly so. Labor unions are essentially just a monopoly on labor.

In this particular case, it's especially silly since the organizer is a part-time employee. He hardly even has a stake in the fight.

It is not a monopoly on labour, especially as the number of union workers in the US is quite small compared to non union.

But if you want to go that route, Apple would have the monopoly on the jobs, and being the supplier seeking to control wages it is colluding against workers to fix labour costs
 
How is it possible that Apple employees are not already unionized? Next thing you know you are going to tell us that parts for the Imacs, Ipods, Ipads, and IPhones come from China!!! :shock:
 
Why isnt Steve Jobs (D) already using Union Labor?.........

Has Steve Jobs ever advocated more unionization? Or are you just making **** up and talking out of your ass?
 
Why are people so against the worker side of the free market acting on their freedom to associate?

They aren't, they realize what you are saying is just bull****.

Well considering Steve gave $200,000 to the Democrat Party, $1000 to the Republican Party, its pretty obvious where his political allegiance lays.........

.....and Its beyond rare to meet a Democat voter that doesnt think Unions were God's gift to Earth.......

.....but its also beyond rare to find a Democrat voter that isnt an utter and complete hypocrite. Like spotting Bigfoot or the elusive Blue Dog Democrat......
