‘People are stressed’: Apple workers set to begin first in-person union election

If successful, the store in Towson, Maryland, would be the first to unionize at the US tech company

Workers at an Apple store in Towson, Maryland, are set to begin their in-person union election on 15 June and, if successful, the store would be the first to unionize at the US tech company.

Workers at the Maryland store - calling themselves the Coalition of Organized Retail Employees (AppleCore) - went public on 3 May with their intent to hold a union election, with the assistance of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM), shortly after an Apple store in Atlanta filed for a union election.
