Workers at an Apple Store in Towson, Maryland, represented by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, have voted to authorize a strike, marking a significant escalation in labor disputes at the tech giant's retail operations. The vote comes after over a year of negotiations, with the union accusing Apple of not bargaining in good faith, particularly over wages, scheduling, and work-life balance, and alleging that Apple wants to effectively lower their pay. This could potentially lead to the first strike at any of Apple's 270+ retail stores. Meanwhile, employees at an Apple Store in Short Hills, New Jersey, voted 41-to-57 against unionizing, with the Communications Workers of America citing Apple's anti-union tactics as a factor in the decision.
Apple workers in Maryland have authorized a strike. Their walkout would be the first strike action at an Apple Store. They unionized over a year ago, but say the tech giant refuses to budge in negotiations. In fact, Apple wants to effectively lower their pay.
