"A big ask from our team when preparing for negotiations was to include some sort of profit-sharing or bonus structure," the union said in the thread."We thought a lot about the easiest way to accomplish this and we thought adopting a model already used by other workers who provide services to their community might be the simplest to implement."
The union also noted that"all monies collected through this manner would be dispersed to members of the bargaining unit biweekly based on any hours worked." The thread also listed several other proposals for the negotiations with Apple, which include expanding Apple's list of paid holidays, increasing vacation time for full-time and part-time employees, and offering wellness leave.
Other proposals include asking Apple to double pay for staffers who work over 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week, double overtime weekend pay, increased pay for first-aid certified workers, and offering a maximum of 34 weeks of severance pay after layoffs. Union representatives did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment but told Bloomberg in a statement,"We realize that this is a negotiation, and these are initial proposals," adding"Our goal is and always has been to bring back an acceptable contract for the membership to ratify.
