      Apple employees lack class consciousness. They don’t understand that they too are working class, because they too have to sell their labor to survive. You can be pro-choice, pro-LGBTQ+, pro-DEI, etc. while still being oblivious to the class war.

      There are two reasons to avoid a union:

      1. Fear of retaliation - Amazon et al.
      2. Perceived lack of need.

      If you are well looked after by your company and are treated fairly, there is no need to create a union.

      Apple may be in this category?

      Because companies like Apple, Google, etc. treat their engineers extremely well in order to attract the best talent. Why unionize if you’re payed a ton of money, have unlimited PTO and work in a very casual office environment (or from home)?
