They are effective indeed, esp. as political donations go - who would've thought the carpenters union donates more to political initiatives than Oracle?

#13Sounds like Apple won this no? They prevented the union, which has given up, and their only punishment is to be told to stop doing something they should not have been doing anyway.
I assume if it happens again they won't be so lenient.

Sounds like they were lenient the first AND second time. But this time they really mean it. Assuming anyone will put their head in the noose and try to unionise a third time...

Yeah I’m not sure I agree with that statement either…

I would relate fair share to how much value the worker is bringing in compared to an average applicant who is willing to take the position for a lower salary

Indeed.
Companies hate unions because they increase labor costs and benefits.
Does anyone really think corporate anti-union talking points are in their workers' best interest?
Unions have their faults (e.g. bureaucracy), but corporations aren't fighting them for their employees' benefit.

Virtually all companies oppose unionization. Am I to believe that all these companies are doing so out of sheer incompetence?

> The cry of the ignorant. What is a fair share?
In this case, I'd find out what the union was requesting and consider its fairness.

Argument makes sense if you conveniently forget it's workers in the first place who created the company's wealth.
