Apple store employees are voting whether to join the wave of unionization

Apple employee stores are joining Starbucks baristas in a labor trend that's growing across the US.

Apple employees at a mall store in Towson, Maryland, may become the first to unionize at that company, CNN writes.

The workers began casting their votes for or against the union on June 15. The results of the vote, which are being collected at a vacant store in the same mall, will be announced on Saturday evening.

If they do unionize, they will become the latest to do so among a growing number of retail employees. Starbucks employees have already voted to unionize at more than 150 stores; worker organizers at a Trader Joe’s location in Hadley, Massachusetts filed for a union election this week, with an eye to becoming the first unionized store in that nationwide chain.
