Employees at a third Apple retail store have announced that they\u2019re trying to organize a vote on whether to unionize, according to a report from The Washington Post<\/em><\/a>. Workers at Apple\u2019s Towson Town Center store in Maryland say that they\u2019ve received signatures from a majority of the employees that would likely be able to join a union, and are planning on filing with the National Labor Relations Board to schedule an election.<\/p>\n

In a letter<\/a>, the organizers say their union is called the \u201cCoalition of Organized Retail Employees\u201d (or AppleCORE), and say they\u2019re not trying to \u201cgo against or create conflict with\u201d Apple management. Instead, the workers say they want to gain access to rights they currently don\u2019t have. While they don\u2019t specify which ones in the letter or a press release<\/a>, The Washington Post<\/em> reports employees saying they want a voice when it comes to determining their pay, hours, and coronavirus safety. In the letter, the workers ask Tim Cook to voluntarily recognize the union, saying they have the support of \u201ca solid majority\u201d of their coworkers.<\/p>\n

If Apple doesn\u2019t voluntarily recognize the union, the next step for AppleCORE would be petitioning the NLRB to hold an election. If the regulator agrees that there\u2019s been a sufficient showing of interest, Apple and the union will have to determine who would be eligible to join the union (and therefore who will be able to vote), and decide a date for the election. This can either happen voluntarily or after an NLRB hearing.<\/p>\n

Earlier on Tuesday, Apple agreed to schedule a union vote on June 2nd with workers at another retail store in Atalanta<\/a>. Employees in New York have also started collecting signatures<\/a> to hold a union vote.<\/p>\n
