President Biden on Monday praised workers at an Apple store near Baltimore that voted to form the first American union at the Silicon Valley tech giant.
“I’m proud of them,” Biden told reporters
“You know, workers have a right to determine under what conditions they’re gonna work or not,” he continued. “And I think the thing that everybody kind of misunderstands about unions, they tend to be, especially in the trades, the best workers in the world.”

Time to close that store 🤪
Is it too late to sell Apple stock?

I have a gift share on the wall.
It looks nice in the frame.
We can’t unionize manufacturing workers, because they are all in China.
The only folks who make out are the Union bosses.
“...everybody kind of misunderstands about unions, they tend to be, especially in the trades, the best workers in the world.”
Apple has three stores in the Baltimore area. I wonder if they can get by with two?
Well, he fell on his head after all.
Apple should simply close the unit.
I know this is a tough position to hold on FR, but here goes…
I used to be anti-union, and had plenty of ammo to back that up with.
Not all unions are equal. I’m proud to be part of a union that has high standards and we do and have drummed people out that weren’t up to snuff. We all have the attitude that we don’t want to work with a turd, so they get forced out 1 way or another.
In my industry/job the people in the union versus non-union make more money (even with dues) and have better benefits than the non-unionized. We aren’t greedy, we are even below the nation-wide industry standards.
Unions are good when the hands understand what they have, and work to protect it.
UNION MAID by Woody Guthrie, 1940
Now, you gals who want to be free,
You gotta take a little tip from me
Get you a man who’s a union man and fight together for liberty
‘Cause married life ain’t hard if you got a union card
And a union man has a happy life if he’s got a union wife
Oh, you can’t scare me, I’m sticking to the union
I’m sticking to the union, I’m sticking to the union
Oh, you can’t scare me, I’m sticking to the union
I’m sticking to the union till the day I die
Note: Pete Seeger quote: “I’m proud to say I was present when ‘Union Maid’ was written in June, 1940, in the plain little office of the Oklahoma City Communist Party.”
Yeah, because it worked so well for this Starbucks

Union Pension Plans, the Original Pyramid Scheme!
Did Joe visit the slave labor in China to get a union in there for them? Now that would be leadership! Go Joe.
Good to read that. I was a traditional labor lawyer for 35 years (first two representing unions, then 33 years for the feds as a neutral). There are good unions and bad ones. One good union in particular, where the international president was paid the same contract wage as the highest paid member that the union had been able to negotiate with an employer. No stereotypical fat guy smoking a cigar.
babblun' biden angling for his ten percent cut.

What union do you belong too?
You forget about the politicians they bribe.
