Apple Inc. workers in Oklahoma City petitioned Thursday to unionize their store, extending a wave of organizing within the company and the broader retail industry.

Employees filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board seeking a vote on joining the Communications Workers of America union. The location, inside the city’s Penn Square Mall, is one of about 270 US retail stores operated by the iPhone maker.
