Baltimore Mayor Brandon M. Scott has joined the list of elected officials calling on Apple to change how it is handling the closure of its Towson Town Center store. Here are the details.
Apple further pressured over Towson store closure
On June 20, Apple will permanently close three retail stores, including Apple Towson Town Center, the first Apple Store in the US to unionize.
Soon after the closure was announced, the IAM Union accused Apple of treating Towson employees unfairly by denying them the same relocation opportunities offered to workers at the other two stores.
Apple, however, says its agreement with the union requires only that it offer transfers to locations within 50 miles of the Towson store, with severance available to employees who cannot be relocated. The company adds that it has no plans to open another store within that radius.
