Biz: Apple Store worker really wants unions for some reason

  • what Cory Moll, a part-time Apple Store employee in San Francisco, has come forward with his plan to push for unions for the company’s 30,000 retail employees at 325 retail stores worldwide. Moll started a Web site for his campaign, which, from our vantage point, is currently down (we linked a cached version).
  • why Moll says that the big problems on his end are wages and benefits. He says he makes $14 an hour in a city where the minimum wage is nearly $10 an hour. “Right now what I hope to gain is to get people to start talking about it and get comfortable with it,” he says. Do you guys think he’ll win? source

Offbeat, Tech: Apple Stores in Chicago have very thick glass walls

  • Some dude tried, and failed, to throw a brick through one. The store, located on the Magnificient Mile, now has a window in front of an iPhone display that’s all cracked up, but the glass did not come crashing down. So remember, glass walls at Apple Store aren’t just for show. They’re there to prevent bricks from going through. source
