Exciting news from Apple and its unionized employees at the Towson, Maryland retail store! A groundbreaking tentative agreement has been reached, paving the way for improved pay, job security, better scheduling for work-life balance, and a transparent disciplinary process. This historic unionization of the Towson location in 2022 marked a significant milestone for Apple Stores nationwide. Following a vote in May to authorize a strike due to unsatisfactory negotiations, this agreement is a major step forward.
The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers’ Coalition of Organized Retail Employees (IAM CORE) has been in talks with Apple since January 2023.

With approximately 85 employees represented by the union, a vote on the agreement is scheduled for August 6.
