Unionized Apple store workers in MD voted to authorize a strike.

Apple has been accused of not bargaining in good faith over pay.

But since contract talks began, Apple has announced ~$150 BILLION in stock buybacks.

I don't want to hear that Apple can't afford to pay workers.

Stock buybacks used to be ILLEGAL stock price manipulation.

Make this ILLEGAL again.

@rbreich Tax breaks have not trickled down into fair wages and all ships rising. Companies issue stock, raise money, make crazy profits, but back stock. What a scam.

@rbreich shareholders don't invest in Apple stock because they want to do good things to Apple employees ... they want dividends, profit, and lots of it.Apple employees are just the fuckin' gnomes that are supposed to shut up and make it happen.
