Unionized Apple Store Workers Push for Customer Tips and Pay Raises.

Unionized employees at an Apple Store in Maryland are negotiating with the company for a 10% pay raise, changes in vacation, bereavement leave, and overtime policies. They are also requesting a tipping system where customers can tip employees 3%, 5%, or a custom amount for in-store credit card transactions. Apple has declined to comment on the matter, and some employees fear that this request might make negotiations more difficult and shift the focus away from more critical changes.
