Employees at an Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) retail store in Maryland have voted to join a union. As a result, the store is now the first unionized Apple Store in the U.S.

What Happened: According to the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, 65 votes were in favor and 33 opposed to joining the union. Close to 110 employees were eligible to cast a ballot, voting started on Wednesday and ran through Saturday evening.

In a letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook, the union organizers wrote, “To be clear, the decision to form a union is about us as workers gaining access to rights that we do not currently have.”

Other Unionizing Efforts: Workers at Apple’s Grand Central store in New York are collecting signatures to form a union. 

Apple workers in Atlanta who tried to form the union withdrew their request in May, claiming intimidation. 

According to a report, several Apple Stores across the U.S. were getting ready to unionize in February amid complaints that wages aren't keeping up with the skyrocketing inflation rate and poor working conditions.
