CNET reports:

Apple's San Francisco flagship store temporarily became a scene of confusion and arrests on Thursday because of a sit-in held inside. A gathering of roughly 50 protestors were demonstrating against Apple for allegedly underpaying contract employees that work at its retail stores.

The protestors reportedly belong to the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and said Apple routinely underpays contractors, such as security guards. The union also alleged that Apple hires contractors for part-time jobs to prevent paying employee benefits.

    Nah, just saying that's a piss-poor example. Even your own choice of words betrays you. You've got several lower-hanging fruit, no pun intended, than that.

    I'm sorry, didn't mean to post anonymously. Posting to verify my identity and to see that you responded.
