I'm not sure exactly what you're saying. Is your point that Apple's response to organized labor was to try to make sure that those employees are easily replaceable in the future? That sounds tremendously counterproductive. Though perhaps it's the exact sort of shortsightedness we should expect from large corporations today.
- kevin_b_er 7y agoYes. Apple, like any major US corporation, is in a fundamentally adversarial position vs their employees. The corporation seeks maximum profit at the expense of the worker and the workers seek a decent living. However, the need to extract wealth from the worker to further enrich the richest is of a greater need to a corporation than the wellbeing of the workers. This is not unique to Apple by any means.
