I don't understand Apple's take here. Embrace the unions so that you can shape them. Happy workers are more productive workers. Hippie Steve would be pro-union

> Hippie Steve would be pro-union me thinks. It is always weird when someone who has no connection to an individual responds and attempts to state how that person things/feels on an issue. Question for you: If Steve Jobs ran the company, and in your view he was "pro-union" why isn't it already unionized? Steve often got what he wanted (he was DRIVEN).. So if unionization was something he wanted, one would think he would have done it?

LOL, the most ruthlessly effective capitalist of the last 100 years would be pro-union? What gives you the confidence to make such a wildly implausible claim?

  Yikes. Ok. So I guess I should have googled before I wrote that. I just figured he would be a pro union guy given his background. I guess not. Then this makes sense that Apple is fighting unions since it’s what Steve would do.

Read the story how he treated a lot of employees when Apple went public. There wasn’t much hippie in him. It took Wozniak to give stock to employees because Jobs refused.
