On June 20, Apple’s first unionized Apple Store will close alongside two other stores in other regions. They’re all stores in failing malls, but the problem with Towson in particular is the lack of options employees are getting.
An official statement from the mayor of Baltimore was shared to social media, first seen by 9to5Mac, charging Apple to do better by the Apple Towson employees. As with previous statements from Congress and an Unfair Labor Practice charge, the demands are for Apple to take one of three approaches.
