Apple retail store employees in Oklahoma City vote to organize

The Communication Workers of America (CWA) reports that over 70% of Maryland's Apple Bethesda retail and repair staff have filed for a union election with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

Apple Penn Square employees in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, have voted to unionize, according to Bloomberg.

The employees reportedly voted 56 to 32 in favor of joining the Communications Workers of America (CWA) union. This is the second Apple retail store in the US to take the plunge following a similar move by employees in Towson, Maryland.

The CWA represents workers in private and public sector employment in 1,200 chartered CWA local unions. Its members work in telecommunications and information technology, the airline industry, news media, broadcast and cable television, education, health care, public service and education, law enforcement, manufacturing and other fields.
