In February, Apple confirmed it would offer more vacation time and sick days for its retail workers after some grumbled about their benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, organizers at Apple\u2019s store in New York City\u2019s Grand Central Terminal said they had voted to become an affiliate of the labor group Workers United and were gathering signatures to form a union. The group said they were seeking a minimum hourly wage of $30 for all workers.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, an Apple spokesperson noted the minimum hourly rate for retail workers was $20, reflecting the company\u2019s old pay scale. Apple operates more than 270 retail stores in the US and has tens of thousands of retail workers.<\/p>\n<p>And earlier this month, Apple said it would delay a requirement that its corporate employees work onsite at least three days a week.
