Lynwood, Washington Apple Retail Store Employees May Stage Walk-Out

ifoAppleStore reports that employees of the Seattle-area Alderwood Mall Apple retail store in Lynwood, Washington are planning to stage a walk-out on October 3rd to protest employees' treatment by management and an unwillingness by higher-level Apple executives to appropriately address the "abusive" situation.

Now, staffers at the Alderwood Mall (Wash.) retail store say their complaints about "abusive" management and possible state and federal labor law violations at the store have been ignored by the company, and they are threatening to stage a walk out at 1 p.m. on October 3rd to protest.

The store's employees have reportedly discussed their issues with Apple Senior Vice President of Retail Ron Johnson, but have been unable to come to an agreement regarding the handling of complaints.

That's interesting. Apple will probably be on it now. I doubt they want this press.

I am sure this has nothing to do with any 3.1 issues or whatnot. It sounds like it's a labor issue (i.e. poor or unethical treatment from management)

Good for them. It'll be interesting to see which Apple deals with it, the Apple that's supposed to be all about people and standing by the little guy or the Apple of late that worships the almighty dollar and to hell with anything and anyone that gets in it's way.
