Unionized Apple store workers in MD voted to authorize a strike.

Apple has been accused of not bargaining in good faith over pay.

But since contract talks began, Apple has announced ~$150 BILLION in stock buybacks.

I don't want to hear that Apple can't afford to pay workers.

@rbreich when has Apple ever made an official statement that they cannot afford higher wages for their employees?
@rbreich Tax breaks have not trickled down into fair wages and all ships rising. Companies issue stock, raise money, make crazy profits, buy back stock. It is corrupt.

@rbreich

Stock buybacks used to be ILLEGAL stock price manipulation.

Make this ILLEGAL again.
