Apple Store Workers Allege Union-Busting as Company Plans to Close First US Unionized Location
Workers at Apple's first unionized US store in Towson, Maryland have filed an unfair labor practice charge alleging the company's decision to close the store by June is a cynical attempt to bust the union. The IAM Core union claims Apple is denying transfer rights to unionized workers while offering them to non-unionized employees, calling it discrimination and retaliation for exercising labor rights. Nearly 90 workers won their union election in June 2022 and secured their first contract in August 2024.
