Hike in starting pay for Apple retail workers

Hike in starting pay for Apple retail workers

As Apple faces a unionization push at its stores, the company is raising wages for its retail workers. The starting wage for Apple's hourly workers in the US will rise to $22 an hour, the company announced in an email to employees on Wednesday. Starting salaries for employees are also expected to rise. 

An Apple spokesperson said in a statement, "Supporting and retaining the best team members in the world enables us to deliver the best, most innovative, products and services for our customers. This year as part of our annual performance review process, we're increasing our overall compensation budget." This pay hike comes when more Apple workers push to form a union. Workers have revolted against Apple's return-to-office plans calling it "inflexible."

Workers say about the plan, "The Hybrid Working Pilot is one of the most inefficient ways to enable everyone to be in one room, should the need arise every now and then. Stop treating us like school kids who need to be told when to be where and what homework to do." Apple did not immediately respond for a comment.
