Union wins right to represent workers at an Apple store for the first time
CNN
Apple workers in Towson, Maryland, have voted to form the first-ever labor union at one of the tech giant's US stores.
The landmark union election concluded on Saturday evening with 65 workers voting for unionization and 33 against it, a nearly two-to-one margin in favor of the union, according to a preliminary tally from the National Labor Relations Board.
The victory for union organizers at the Apple (AAPL) store in the Towson Town Center, a mall near Baltimore, comes amid a broader wave of workplace activism that has emerged in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.
