Apple Retail Employees Need Their Own Union?

Some Apple retail employees are looking to unionize. Their initial group is small—28 followers on Twitter at the moment—but their message is Apple-like in its simplicity (see this video here): "Our time has come."

As someone who worked in retail all throughout high school and college, I can certainly appreciate their plight. The pay sucks, the hours are long, the customers can be doughy sacks of crap, and the road to advancement is a long and slippery slope that few people have the wherewithal to stomach.
