Unionized workers at a Maryland Apple store voted on Saturday to authorize a strike, which would mark the first such labor action against the retailer in the United States if it goes forward.
Employees at the Apple store in the town of Towson, outside of Baltimore, voted to unionize in 2022 — another first for the iPhone maker’s US stores.“Following over a year of negotiations with Apple management that yielded unsatisfactory outcomes,” union members are “signaling their collective demand for meaningful change,” a union statement said.
“The issues at the forefront of this action include concerns over work-life balance, unpredictable scheduling practices disrupting personal lives, and wages failing to align with the area’s cost of living.”The Towson store has about 100 employees, 98 percent of whom voted in favor of the work stoppage.Meanwhile, employees at another of the California-based company’s stores, in New Jersey, voted down a unionization effort over the weekend.
