Apple Towson Town Center in Maryland
Apple’s first retail union formed in Towson, Maryland, won a historic victory against Apple thanks to negotiations performed by IAM CORE.
Two years after Apple Towson unionized with IAM CORE representing 85 employees, the union has achieved a significant agreement with Apple. Employees can expect better pay, management transparency, and improvements to scheduling in addition to all previous benefits.
“The historic agreement secured by the courageous IAM CORE members at the Towson Apple store sets a new standard for Apple retail workers nationwide, proving the undeniable power of collective bargaining,” said IAM International President Brian Bryant. “The IAM has proven once again that we have the strength to take on some of the biggest companies in the world and win.”
The IAM CORE, which represents the union, maintains the ability to negotiate for additional benefits. The initial proposal from the union included tips, knowing they’d have to back off some requests.
