Employees challenge Apple with setting up a union

Workers at Apple's Grand Central Station store in New York have announced a plan to create a union. If their bid were successful, it would be the first merger in one of the tech giant's U.S. stores.

The staff group known as Fruit Stand Workers United must receive support signatures from 30 percent of colleagues in the store to qualify for the establishment of a union. The move comes after union pushes by staff at Starbucks and Amazon. Apple has not commented on the announcement.

A statement on a campaignwebsite for future unions read: "Grand Central is an extraordinary store with unique working conditions that make a union necessary to ensure that our team has the best living standards".

The group described itself as an employee body at an "extraordinary time with the continued Covid-19 pandemic and high consumer price inflation", although their website did not reveal the names of staff members leading the effort.

The group said it also requires a $30 hourly minimum wage for all workers, overtime for vacations and information on tighter safety protocols at grand central location.

The campaign is linked to Workers United, a subsidiary of the International Union of Service Employees, which was established in 2009 by several previous unions.

Apple's effort comes as a Workers United-backed Starbucks unionization drive has spread nationally following election victories last year in New York. Amazon is also facing a growing challenge from unions after a new campaign won elections at a warehouse on nearby Staten Island earlier this month.

Employees working at at least three other Apple stores are also trying to organize, according to The Washington Post.
