Employees at a New York Apple store are trying to unionize
CNN
Some employees at the Apple store at New York's Grand Central Station are seeking to form a union, the latest high-profile labor organizing effort to take root in the pandemic era.
A person familiar with the matter told CNN Business that workers at the Grand Central Apple store have begun collecting signatures to file a petition to unionize, the first step of a union organizing effort. If they file cards from at least 30% of the workers at the store, the National Labor Relations Board can hold an election.
The employees leading the effort are partnering with Workers United, an affiliate of the Service Employees International Union, and the same union supporting the so-far-successful organizing effort at Starbucks.
