It's totally fair for employees to ask for more salary or leave especially if the company is raking in high profits but I think it's absurd to have a tipping system in an Apple retail shop. Maybe maybe I could make sense of a tip for a support request where the clerk goes the extra mile but in the unions system the tip is then spread amongst all members of the union. > Finally, the union is asking Apple to pay $1 an hour more to employees who become first-aid certified If Apple wanted their retail staff to be first-aid certified then they could just require that. I don't see why Apple would want it so much that they'd pay $1 an hour for it. I am not familiar with union negotiations. Is this a case of "we ask for a bit of over the top or outlandish things which we'll then give up in order to make it easier to score the main points"?
