Apple retail employees in Towson, MD have authorized a strike.
Issues include work-life balance, unpredictable scheduling practices, wages not aligning with cost of living, and alleged illegal behavior by Apple.
Negotiations between IAM and Apple have been ongoing since January 2023.
This is the first formal union for an Apple retail location in the US.
Apple retail employees at the store in Towson, Maryland have authorized a strike, marking the first formal union for an Apple retail location in the United States. The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) announced on Saturday that members had overwhelmingly voted in favor of authorizing a strike to demonstrate their solidarity and send a clear message to Apple management.
Negotiations between IAM and Apple have been ongoing since January 2023, with issues including work-life balance, unpredictable scheduling practices, wages that do not align with the area's cost of living, and alleged illegal behavior by the company. The union has expressed frustration over Apple's lack of engagement in constructive dialogue to address these concerns.
The Towson store was the first Apple retail location to unionize in 2022. In an open letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook at that time, Maryland employees stated their goal was not about creating conflict but gaining access to rights they currently did not have and asked Cook to 'think different' and collaborate with them.
The date for the potential strike has yet to be determined.
