What Happened: The store workers are urging Apple to pay a minimum hourly wage of $30, among other things, updated information posted on their website showed.
Calling itself Fruit Stand Workers United, the union is seeking benefits such as increased tuition reimbursement, faster accrued, and more vacation time, among other things.
As part of retirement benefits, the workers expect a higher match rate for 401 (k) plans and enrollment into pension plans.
The workers have also sought a study on security protocols with customer interactions and track dust, health effects from building materials and noise pollution at Grand Central.

Why It Matters: The unionization effort is now an en masse movement at Apple.
An average retail employee at Apple makes between $17 and $30 per hour, depending on their role and seniority, according to a Washington Post report. Store workers believe the wage rates haven't kept pace with inflation.
For filing a union petition, the Grand Central Location should get 30% of the 270 eligible employees working there, CNBC reported.
The unionization drive, which extends beyond Apple, comes as the U.S. grapples with a combination of slow growth and rising inflation, called stagflation. With the Fed signaling its intent to keep raising rates at a measured pace, the situation is likely to worsen.
Workers at high-profile companies such as $Amazon(AMZN.US)$ and $Starbucks(SBUX.US)$ recently voted in favor of unionizing.

为什么这很重要:成立工会的努力现在是苹果的一场集体运动。
根据《华盛顿邮报》的一篇报道,苹果零售业员工的平均时薪在17美元到30美元之间,具体取决于他们的职位和资历。商店工人认为,工资率没有跟上通货膨胀的步伐。
据CNBC报道,为了提交工会申请,中央车站应该获得270名在那里工作的合格员工中的30%。
成立工会的努力超出了苹果的范畴,与此同时,美国正在努力应对增长缓慢和通胀上升的组合,即所谓的滞胀。随着美联储暗示有意继续以有节制的速度加息,情况很可能会恶化。
在知名公司工作的工人,如亚马逊,Inc.(纳斯达克:AMZN)和星巴克(纽约证券交易所代码:SBUX)最近投票赞成成立工会。
