Is the worm in the fetus? Apple is experiencing a small revolution in the USA. Employees at an Apple store in Oklahoma City (our picture), in the very Republican state of Oklahoma, voted to create union representation. This is Apple’s second U.S. store to go unionized, following Towson, Maryland, in June… That’s right, they’re just two of the 270 the company has in the country. The move, however, is far from anecdotal. For a long time, American electronics giants kept unions at bay.
The latter were very present in traditional industries, car manufacturers, steel plants and ports. But not among the representatives of the new economy of the New World. Amazon’s first warehouse in New York City took until the summer of 2021 to attempt the adventure. After a legal tussle with the group’s management, in April 2022 the Amazon Labor Union, the internal union, was finally born. This fundamental movement contradicts the values of these groups, liberal, even ardent defenders of the economy. whose unionism has no place. But it also reflects a transition. These companies have become giants far from their beginnings as start-ups, with employees who no longer enjoy the same greatness as the first employees. Table football in the cafe no longer satisfies the employees.
