A majority of employees at a US Apple store have voted to form a union, a first for the tech giant, which has so far tried to discourage unionising attempts.
This would be the tech giant's first union, in the wake of similar unionisation drives at Starbucks and Amazon locations.
The news comes days after leaked audio of exec Deirdre O'Brien expressing concern about unionizing to Apple's tens of thousands of retail staffers.
A union vote at an Apple store in Atlanta's Cumberland Mall location is in jeopardy after the union seeking to organize the retail workers withdrew their election request. What will be the employees' next move?
"I worry about what it would mean to put another organization in the middle of our relationship," said company executive Deirdre O'Brien.
