Apple retail workers at the Penn Square Mall store in Oklahoma City
voted overwhelmingly to join CWA on Friday, becoming the second group
of Apple retail workers to win union representation in the U.S. The
workers include Apple salespeople, genius admins, technicians,
creatives, and operations specialists.
"I was on the organizing committee which just won the second Apple
election in the U.S. My dad is a proud member of IUE-CWA battling for
a fair contract right now with General Electric (GE) in Oklahoma and
my mom was a proud union member too. Solidarity with Apple and GE
workers everywhere. One union one fight," said Laurel Agee, a member
of the Apple Retail Workers/CWA. CWA District 6 members are excited to
welcome their newest members at Apple, who will be members of CWA
Local 6016 in Oklahoma City.
