TOWSON STORE UNIONIZATION:

Apple uses Towson Store as a cautionary tale to thwart unionization

    Apple has been trying to prevent the unionization of its employees, and the company has been using the events of the Towson store as a warning to others.

    The Towson store in Maryland has seen the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers unionizing the staff, while others like in Atlanta and St. Louis have seemingly stalled progress.

    Apple meetings with US store managers aim to halt unionization momentum

    Over the past few weeks, Apple’s US store managers have been meeting with their staff to discuss the risks of unionization, and to offer an update on bargaining between Apple and the Towson store. In the latest edition of Mark Gurman’s “Power On” newsletter for Bloomberg, it seems that the efforts so far have curtailed the unionization momentum.

    Managers have been describing the Towson store as a cautionary tale to other staff members, where the union representing Towson employees requested 1.5% of pay as dues. Under union proposals, employees who didn’t comply with payment could end up terminated within a month.
