More Apple workers vote to unionize
Apple employees at a store in the Baltimore area have voted to unionize. This makes it the company's first store in the US to join the unionization wave sweeping through retailers, restaurants and tech companies. The result of the vote was announced on Saturday by the National Labor Relations Board and it provides a foothold for other Apple retail employees who want a greater voice over wages and covid 19 policies.
Union leaders say that employees at more than two dozen Apple stores have expressed interest in unionizing in recent months. In the recent election at Towson, Md, 65 employees at the Apple store voted in favor of being represented by the union called Apple Coalition of Organized Retail Employees. Only 33 employees had voted against it. The union will be part of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers which is an industrial trade union that represents over 300,000 employees.
Robert Martinez Jr., president of IAM said in a statement, "I applaud the courage displayed by CORE members at the Apple store in Towson for achieving this historic victory. They made a huge sacrifice for thousands of Apple employees across the nation who had all eyes on this election." Tyra Reeder, a technical specialist who has worked at the Towson store said that she was elated at the outcome and that she hoped a union would help increase workers’ compensation, stabilize the store's scheduling and make it easier for workers to advance within the company.
