apple(NASDAQ:AAPLThe International Federation of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Organized Retail Employees (IAM CORE) said Saturday that workers at the Towson, Maryland, store voted overwhelmingly in favor of a strike.
“This vote highlights people’s frustrations “Employees are concerned about unresolved workplace issues,” the union said in a statement.
“Overriding concerns with this action include concerns about work-life balance, unpredictable schedules disrupting personal lives, and wages not commensurate with the area’s cost of living,” the report added.
IAM CORE, which has yet to set a shutdown date, said the decision came after more than a year of negotiations with Apple management, but “the results were not satisfactory.”
IAM CORE represents about 100 employees at Apple’s (AAPL) Towson store, which in June 2022 became the iPhone maker’s first unionized retail store in the United States.
