Summary
Apple closed its unionized store in Towson, Maryland — the company's first fully unionized location — as part of a wave of three U.S. store closures in 2026. The union has filed a lawsuit accusing Apple of retaliation, alleging that non-unionized staff were relocated while unionized Towson workers faced layoffs. The article contrasts this with Apple's historical pattern of carefully relocating staff when closing stores.
