Supported by UNI Global Union\u2019s Australian affiliates, Shop Distributive and Allied Employees Association (SDA), and the Australian Services Union (ASU),\u00a0Apple store workers have rejected a subpar agreement that failed to address decent work arrangements.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

In results announced yesterday, around 68 per cent of Apple workers who voted used their collective voice to say \u2018NO\u2019 to a deal that failed to provide wage increases in line with inflation or acknowledge repeated concerns in negotiations over rostering arrangements.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Apple employs almost 4,000 workers over 22 sites and an estimated 87 per cent took part in the vote on the company\u2019s second-rate offer.<\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/em>\u201cThis should bring hope and inspiration to workers across the sector and the globe who are struggling for better conditions on the job.

UNI Global Union calls upon Apple to re-engage and provide collective arrangements that address the SDA, ASU and their members’ concerns.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Apple has offered\u00a0annual pay rises<\/a>\u00a0of 2.5 per cent after its last non-union agreement expired six years ago.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
