As several Apple stores across the country fight to unionize, workers in Towson, Maryland became the first to win formal recognition. This historic victory comes after concentrated efforts from Apple to discourage its retail workers from unionizing. According to the New York Times, over two dozen Apple stores have expressed interest in organizing, including the Grand Central Terminal store in New York City. But Starbucks workers have managed to win a wave of union elections regardless. In December, a Starbucks store in Buffalo, New York became the first of the company’s coffee shops to unionize.
