Employees at an Apple store in suburban Maryland have begun unionizing, organizers announced Tuesday. They join two other retail stores in their unionization efforts within the tech company.
Retail employees at Towson Mall in Towson, Md., have formed CORE, the Coalition of Organized Retail Employees. They sent a letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook saying the majority of employees at the store support forming a union.
"We are on the frontlines of the Apple experience," employees said. "As the face of Apple, we have the responsibility of showing up every day to do the best work of our lives."

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel I wish them the Best of Luck. Bad management makes for strong Unions.
..."Employees in Cumberland Mall, outside of Atlanta, became the first group of Apple retail employees to unionize in April.
They were followed by retail workers at Apple's Grand Central Station location in New York City. Those employees have partnered with Workers United, a union that has partnered with employees at several Starbucks locations on their unionization efforts.
Grand Central Station employees are asking for at least $30 an hour, a higher amount of tuition reimbursement and a higher match rate for retirement funds."

NYT (and others) flagged the lack of pay issue a few years back. Been to the Palo Alto location on University many a time.

Apple’s Retail Army, Long on Loyalty but Short on Pay (Published 2012)
While consumers tend to think of Apple’s headquarters as the company’s heart and soul, a majority of its workers in the United States are hourly wage earners selling iPhones and MacBooks.
