Sellers Apple protesting again

Apple's flagship store in San Francisco the day before was the scene of protests both in store and on the approaches to it. About fifty protesters of the number of employees and activists opposed to Apple and its wage policy staff. The protesters claimed that the company underpaid workers in the retail network. Much of the protesters - members of the union SEIU (Service Employees International Union). They claim that Apple is constantly underpaid contract workers, such as security, cleaners and so on. 

Meanwhile, protesters say that Apple hires contract workers at half the regular units of the minimum rate, rather than to impose obligations on the part of staff staff and employees pay the extra money. According to local media reports, the protest lasted about two hours, after which the police surrounded the store and forced the protesters to disperse. 12 people were arrested. Earlier retail Apple employees more than once publicly expressed dissatisfaction. 

So, before about 20 000 retail Apple employees claimed that Apple does not allow them to bring lunch to work with him, but on the other hand does not organize the food in the workplace. As a result, the employees behind the counter for 10-11 hours are not able to take food during the working day. Furthermore, in a number of stores daily security staff scours bags outlet to ensure that the staff does not steal the company's products.
