Congress is increasing its pressure with stronger language in a letter from more members that claims Apple Towson is a “high-performing” store with 100 technologically skilled workers.

Congress doesn’t think Apple should close the Apple Towson store, which also happens to be its first unionized retail store. Nine members said so before, but an additional 39 new members and one returning member have said so again.
The letter states outright that the store closure is likely a violation of Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act. The union representing the store, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) Union, filed an unfair labor practice charge against Apple in April.
