"Apple is denying union-represented workers the same opportunities it is giving to others - and doing so because these workers chose to organize. That is discrimination, and it is exactly what federal labor law is designed to prevent."
"IAM said that Apple's claim that the collective bargaining agreement prevents relocation is simply false and raises serious concerns that [the] closure is a cynical attempt to bust the union."
The IAM union has filed an unfair labor practice charge against Apple for allegedly discriminating against unionized employees at the Towson, Maryland store. Apple announced the closure of three US stores, including Towson, which was the first Apple Store to unionize. IAM claims that Apple did not provide transfer opportunities to unionized employees, forcing them to reapply for positions like external candidates. The union argues this constitutes discrimination against workers who chose to organize, violating federal labor law.
