Will Tim Apple crush unionization? Apple Inc. workers in Oklahoma City petitioned Thursday to unionize their store, extending a wave of organizing within the company and the broader retail industry. Employees filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board seeking a vote on joining the Communications Workers of America union. The location, inside the city’s Penn Square Mall, is one of about 270 US retail stores operated by the iPhone maker. The Oklahoma petition comes about two months after workers at a Maryland Apple store voted to unionize with the International Association of Machinists, adding to recent landmark labor wins at major US companies. Unions have established footholds at Amazon Inc., Starbucks Corp., Trader Joe’s and Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. “This is a really great time to bring back the labor movement,” said Oklahoma City employee Michael Forsythe, one of the leaders of the campaign there. Roughly 70% of the store’s eligible workers have signed up with the union, according to the CWA, which represents a swath of industries including technology, airlines and media. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-09-01/apple-employees-in-oklahoma-city-petition-to-unionize-store
