For this occasion, the vote was motivated by a group of employees called AppleCORE (Coalition of Apple Distribution Employees), which demanded representation in decisions about wages, hours and security measures.
“We did it, Towson! We won our union vote, thanks to all who worked so hard and who supported us! Now we celebrate… Tomorrow we continue organizing,” AppleCORE said on its Twitter account.
Saturday’s result means that the employees of this store, who were called to vote since Wednesday, will have to form a branch of the union International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM, for its acronym in English), once the agency certifies the results.
Saturday’s victory follows several symbolic victories in recent months, beginning with the endorsement of President Joe Biden, as well as Apple’s director of distribution and human resources, Deirdre O’Brien, showing up at the store in May. to address employees.
