Apple Accused of Withholding Benefits from Unionized Workers

The National Labor Relations Board files a complaint against Apple, alleging violation of US labor law at its unionized Towson store.

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has filed a complaint against Apple, alleging that the company violated US labor law by withholding benefits from unionized workers at its Towson, Maryland, store.
The Towson store became the first Apple Store in the country to unionize in June 2022.
The NLRB complaint comes about a year after the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM), which represents the Towson workers, filed its own complaint.
The IAM complaint alleges that Apple improved its health and education benefits for Apple Store workers nationwide but excluded the unionized Towson workers from the improvements.
If the parties don't settle, there will be a hearing with an NLRB Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) beginning February 20, 2024.
