Apple?s Retail Army, Long on Loyalty but Short on Pay
Quote:
Last year, during his best three-month stretch, Jordan Golson sold about $750,000 worth of computers and gadgets at the Apple Store in Salem, N.H. It was a performance that might have called for a bottle of Champagne ? if that were a luxury Mr. Golson could have afforded.
?I was earning $11.25 an hour,? he said. ?Part of me was thinking, ?This is great. I?m an Apple fan, the store is doing really well.? But when you look at the amount of money the company is making and then you look at your paycheck, it?s kind of tough.?

What would Apple's sales be if not for people like Jordan? IT'S A COOPERATIVE EFFORT. And corporate profits are way up from the heightened productivity of workers - but the spoils are not being shared with them.

We must demand an increase in the minimum wage. The workers have more than earned it.
