"This quarter’s record results are a testament to Apple’s relentless focus on innovation and our ability to create the best products and services in the world,” said billionaire Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO who earned more than $700 million in 2021. In a statement on Thursday (April 28), he noted that Apple is "committed, as ever, to being a force for good in the world — both in what we create and what we leave behind."
Workers say that Apple could create that change right now at their very own stores. Employees at the Grand Central Apple location have moved to unionize for "better pay for all covered workers, more robust benefits, and a thorough analysis of our work conditions, mainly relating to health and safety." An Atlanta branch filed for a union election earlier this month.
