The Apple retail workers in Towson, Maryland, voted 65-33 to seek entry into the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, the union's announcement said. The vote could not immediately be confirmed with the National Labor Relations Board, which would have to certify the outcome. An NLRB spokesperson referred initial queries about the vote to the board's regional office, which was closed late Saturday.
The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers and the Apple employees who wanted to join said they sent Apple CEO Tim Cook notice last month that they were seeking to form a union. The statement said their driving motivation was to seek"rights we do not currently have." It added that the workers recently organized in the Coalition of Organized Retail Employees, or CORE.
It remained unclear what steps would follow the vote in Towson. Labor experts say it's common for employers to drag out the bargaining process in an effort to take the momentum out of union campaigns.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer, woker company. Enjoy it, Tim!
Enjoy paying those union dues
Newsworthy in Chicago because...?
Apple, meet Amazon. There is no point in creating jobs that can so easily be eliminated if the unions move in. Add the damage the communists have done to steel, manufacturing, and the public sector unions is immeasurable.
