If their bid is successful it would be the first union at one of the tech giant’s US stores.
Workers at Apple’s Grand Central Station store in New York have announced a plan to start a union.
If their bid is successful it would be the first union at one of the tech giant’s US stores.
The group of staff known as Fruit Stand Workers United must get signatures of support from 30% of colleagues at the store to qualify for a union election.
The move follows unionisation drives by staff at Starbucks and Amazon. Apple has not commented on the announcement.
A statement on a campaign website for the prospective union said: “Grand Central is an extraordinary store with unique working conditions that make a union necessary to ensure our team has the best possible standards of living.
