One of the many reasons our union branch voted last night to donate to Signal -- we rely on it as a crucial tool in our workplace organising toolkit, and Signal relies on donations from users.

Most (but not all) of our Apple retail members in the UK have received 7% raises this month. Since our last raise most of us are also paying about 12% more for housing, energy bills, food, transport, childcare, etc. In that same timeframe Apple has added 31% to its market cap.

📱launch day is the hardest work day of the year for us. Comrades take your full breaks, go home when your shift is over, look after each other, look after new colleagues, drink water, take five if you need it, if a customer is disrespectful make your manager deal with it. 🍎✊

Worrying from a company powering many unions, and I hope they're able to get a good resolution through the union here. If you work for MillerTech or in the ClearCourse group and are not yet a member, please give United Tech & Allied Workers (UTAW-CWU) a shout now.
