There is a cost associated with collective bargaining as well as benefits. While most of these costs (though not all) are carried by the employer to the benefit of the employee; I don't think dismissing these concerns by calling them "common anti-union talking points" improves the honest discussion that should be had by people considering collective bargaining.

This is a very stereotypical anti-union talking point.

If Apple truly had a commitment to retail employees, the retail employees wouldn't be considering unionization.

The vote will definitely demonstrate how seriously the employees are considering unionization but, in my experience, there are a certain sub-set of people that constantly push for unionization, regardless of the companies commitment to employees.
