       | Really, it is becoming tiresome. We are becoming aware of how

       | Apple employees are paid well and their benefits and working
       | conditions are decent. In my view, the problem is the
       | increasingly authoritarian management regime that governs where
       | and how they work. A traditional union won't help address that
       | problem.
