"Hi team. The truth is unionizing will shift the cost/profit balance sheet of the Apple Store unit to the point where higher returns can be had by shutting stores down.

Apple has a legal obligation to its shareholders, and as a result the Apple executive team must ensure everything we do optimizes benefits to the shareholders.

Of course Apple is unique in the industry in its commitment to a well compensated, healthy, and valued workforce. Not only does that reflect upon our customer experience, but upon our internal productivity.

As such we understand that our profitability is literally tied to treating our employees better than we would be minimally required to given our unprecedented might in the workforce space.

As such we will be encouraging unionization, which literally built the foundations of greatness underlying this nation that we have profited so magnificently upon."

- Apple, probably not.
