Maryland Apple Store Workers Vote To Authorize Strike

Apple workers at Towson store in Maryland have voted in favor of authorizing a strike, according to a statement from International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Coalition of Organized Retail Employees (IAM CORE) .

The Union, which represents Apple workers in Maryland, said on Saturday that the staff will go for strike over concerns related to work-life balance, unpredictable schedules and wages failing to align with the area's cost of living.

If the strike happens, it would be the first work stoppage by employees of Apple's more than 270 U.S. retail locations.
