There was a thing a while back about Apple's retail employees complaining about low wages and few benefits, but I don't think that the allegations were ever confirmed, or that anything came out of it. The GP may have been referencing that.
Actually, a bit of Googling shows that this is still going on, with employees trying to unionize. According to [1], one person wants "to form a union to fight for better wages and benefits and to address what he says are unfair practices".

Apple is a highly specialized retailer that nonetheless can draw on hundreds of thousands of potentially qualified candidates. How could a union change that dynamic?
