Apple Retail Workers in Oklahoma City Secure Tentative Agreement
After more than a year of bargaining, Apple Retail Union-CWA Local 6016 members secured a tentative labor agreement with Apple on September 6. Workers at the Penn Square Mall Apple Store in Oklahoma City, Okla., are now the second group of Apple employees in the U.S. to reach an agreement with the company.
This bargaining update comes just days after workers held an informational picket outside the Penn Square Mall Apple Store urging the tech giant to bargain in good faith. The 78 workers in the unit include Apple salespeople, Genius admins, technicians, creatives, and operations specialists.
“For more than a year, we stood strong at the bargaining table because we knew that by standing together we could secure the pay raises, protections, and benefits we deserve. It’s thanks to our work that Apple retail stores are the most profitable retail stores per square foot across any industry—and we finally have an agreement that will ensure we earn our fair share for our work,” said Apple Retail Union-CWA Local 6016 member Kirsten Matson.
