Apple Store employees in Atlanta have reached an agreement with the company to hold a union election on June 2nd, according to a copy of the stipulated election agreement obtained by The Verge.<\/em> The news is an important step forward in the worker-led effort to organize with the Communications Workers of America. <\/p>\n

If the drive is successful, the Cumberland Mall location will be the first unionized Apple retail location in the US. In April, it became the first Apple retail location<\/a> to file for a union election in the US. Workers at the Grand Central Terminal store in New York have also launched a union drive<\/a>, as have workers at the Towson Town Center store in Maryland. <\/p>\n

Apple pushed to hold the vote in July, according to a source familiar with the situation. The CWA opposed the later election date, as the move could have given Apple more time to dissuade workers from unionizing. While Apple hasn\u2019t officially said it is against workers organizing, the company is working with anti-union lawyers from Littler Mendelson<\/a>, the same firm used by companies like Starbucks and McDonald\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Last month, organizers posted a letter<\/a> explaining their vision for what working at the company should be like, including specific changes they wanted Apple to make. They explained that they\u2019re looking for a variety of improvements, such as better compensation (including cost of living adjustments to pay), better career development options for retail workers, and enforcement of health and safety protocols, especially around COVID.
