🎥On @rolandsmartin's show, IAM Union member and @Apple Towson Lead Eric Brown exposed the tech giant’s double standard.
Workers at closing non-union stores are offered transfers.
Workers at Apple's first unionized store were not. Same company. Different rules.

Thank you, @GovWesMoore, for standing up in support of IAM members, saying that "the rug is being pulled out from underneath them" with @Apple's decision to close the strong-performing, first-unionized Towson store ✊🏾 https://t.co/sEAiSCTs2R
🚨BREAKING🚨
40 @USProgressives members of Congress are calling out Apple’s union-busting plan to close its first unionized U.S. retail store.
No worker should face retaliation for exercising their right to organize.

IAM member Eric Brown’s op-ed about @Apple closing its Towson location is moving.
“We’re asking the company that built a brand on thinking differently to think differently about how it treats the workers who made that brand real in this community.” https://t.co/wWrdNH2IiN
“This is retailation plain and simple. Shame on you @Apple! This is not just a union issue. This is a civil rights issue. These workers are not asking for much. Apple and their $4 trillion can do right by these workers. This is what corporate greed looks like in 2026.” - @IAMBrianBryant
@Apple@MDDCStateFed@MBAFLCIO@NAACPBaltCounty@RepKweisiMfume “Apple is doing this on purpose. They’re saying ‘if you organize, we will punish you.’
We say, if you organize, we will fight with you for your rights! We will fight back against Apple and big corporations like this.”- IAM Eastern Territory General Vice President David Sullivan
Thank you @CouncilmanIzzy for supporting union workers and the Apple Towson store IAM members!
“This is an attack on Towson, Baltimore county, and Maryland!”
Thank you @CouncilmanIzzy for supporting union workers and IAM members at the closing Apple Towson store.
“This is an attack on Towson, Baltimore county, and Maryland!”
Baltimore County Councilman Pat Young says he stands in solidarity with union workers in Baltimore and all over Maryland, and that management needs to respect unions in workplaces - “We won’t go quietly!”
We are rallying with our leaders and members of @acoreunion, to protest the closing of the @Apple Towson store in Maryland and not allowing union employees to transfer 🗣️🪧📢✊
When we stand together in a union, we have power.
We can fight back against corporate greed and retaliation.
Proud to stand with @IAM_Union Local 4538 members at America’s first unionized @Apple retail store as our fight continues to hold this tech giant accountable.
Thousands of workers are threatening to strike at the Los Angeles World Cup stadium.
The SoFi Stadium plans to host two of the three US Men's World Cup matches, but now 2,000 cooks, servers, bartenders and more may strike.
Their main issue? ICE being present at the World Cup.
Stand with Towson workers and the community.
Tell @Apple to choose a real solution that keeps people working and services accessible.

A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week.
For more than an hour, workers in the facility were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead.
One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to The Western Edge.

Apple is closing down the first of its US stores to unionize.
Apple says that because of the collective bargaining agreement with these workers, they "couldn’t offer to transfer them to nearby locations.”
The union is outraged, and exploring options to hold Apple accountable.
Fighting for the jobs of our members isn’t just for their livelihoods, but the livelihoods of our community.”

Solidarity with all retails workers.
None of these stores need to close.
Corporate bonuses should be canceled if the company is worried about profit margins.

From Townsend:
“We are deeply disappointed with Apple and are investigating every way we can advocate and fight for our members and our community. The store closing is not just an attack on workers, it is an attack on a majority black community that will be impacted by

a lack of access to an Apple Store. Apple Towson is the the only accessible store for hundreds of thousands of Baltimoreans who rely on public transportation, and is the closest store for over 3 millions people living in Maryland and Pennsylvania.

And just to be perfectly clear about the facts at hand, please read this interview with Amos Goldberg, professor of Holocaust History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, who wrote an article about the situation in Gaza for an Israeli online magazine.

At a time when large corporations have an obligation to peacefully oppose an ongoing genocide through boycotts, divestments, and sanctions, Apple is instead dumping billions of dollars into the hands of perpetrators.
