Apple Inc. retail employees have petitioned to unionize a St. Louis store, extending a wave of labor organizing at the world’s most valuable company.
The International Association of Machinists filed a petition Wednesday with the US National Labor Relations Board, seeking to represent around 80 employees at the Missouri site. If the agency holds an election and the union prevails, the company would be legally obligated to negotiate over working conditions at the store.
