Apple is one of the most successful companies in the world, but it has been reported that Apple Store employees are moving to form a trade union, saying that success is not reflected in wages.

We are calling for stronger changes, such as extensions, enrollment in pension plans, and improved retirement options.

As mentioned earlier, Starbucks employees have already successfully formed a union, and Amazon warehouse workers are accelerating the move towards union formation .
According to Apple's financial report, the company has 154,000 employees worldwide and operates 270 Apple Stores in the United States.
