Apple Inc. retail workers at a store in Oklahoma City have voted to unionize, expanding labor’s foothold at the world’s most valuable company and raising the prospect of further gains in other cities.
The US National Labor Relations Board counted ballots Friday night from an election held among employees at the store, located in the city’s upscale Penn Square Mall. The staff voted to join the Communications Workers of America, making theirs the second store to unionize among Apple’s roughly 270 US outlets. The vote was 56 in favor and 32 against.
