Apple store employees in Maryland have formed the company’s first US union

Employees at an Apple Store in Maryland have voted to unionize, organizers announced on June 18.

Voting began earlier this week at the Apple store in Towson Town Center, in Towson, Maryland, where workers have been campaigning for several months. Of the nearly 100 employees at the store, 65 voted in favor of unionizing, and some 33 employees voted against it, the New York Times reports. Now the store workers will join the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM).

“I ask Apple CEO Tim Cook to respect the election results and fast-track a first contract for the dedicated IAM CORE Apple employees in Towson,” IAM international president Robert Martinez Jr. said in a statement. “This victory shows the growing demand for unions at Apple stores and different industries across our nation.”
