On Monday, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) Union officially filed an Unfair Labor Practice (ULP) charge against Apple. The charge, which has been submitted to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), alleges that the company unlawfully discriminated against unionized workers at its Towson, Maryland retail location.
Towson, Maryland was the first unionized Apple retail location in the United States. It was also one of three locations Apple would be closing permanently in June.
