Why It Matters: This complaint comes amid a backdrop of increasing unionization efforts within Apple's retail stores.
爲什麼重要：這一投訴發生在蘋果零售店日益增加的工會化努力背景下。
In July, Apple made history by reaching its first U.S. union labor agreement with retail workers in Towson, Maryland. This marked a significant milestone for the company, as it was the first time any of its U.S. workers had successfully unionized.
蘋果在7月份與位於馬里蘭州陶森的零售店達成其首個美國工會勞資協議，這標誌着公司的重要里程碑，因爲這是其美國員工首次成功組建工會。
The Towson Apple store employees, members of the International Association of Machinists union since June 2022, had been negotiating their first contract and even authorized a strike in May without setting a deadline.
自2022年6月起，陶森的蘋果店員工成爲國際機械工會的成員，並一直在協商他們的第一份合同，甚至在5月份授權罷工，但沒有設定截止日期。
Additionally, Apple has faced increased union efforts from other locations, including a New Jersey store. Previous unionization attempts in Maryland and Oklahoma have influenced these efforts.
此外，蘋果還面臨着來自其他地點的工會努力增加，包括新澤西的一家商店。馬里蘭和俄克拉荷馬州之前的工會化嘗試對這些努力產生了影響。
