Apple Inc, confronting unionisation efforts at several of its stores, has begun holding meetings with employees and posting notices that extol the company’s benefits.

On May 12, Apple began publishing laminated copies of a letter in store backrooms. The two-page note outlines benefits such as vacation time, a 401(k) plan, product discount programmes and health insurance. The same memo has been posted in different US retail outlets, but each version is signed by the location’s individual managers.
