Apple Is Shutting Three Stores But Only One Group Of Workers Isn't Getting A Transfer

Summary

Apple is shutting down three of its retail stores this month, located in Connecticut, California, and Maryland. The closures of the stores in Connecticut and California have been relatively quiet, with employees being offered transfers to nearby stores, but the Maryland location has become a point of controversy due to unionized workers not being given the same offer. The union representing these workers alleges unequal treatment, claiming that Apple's collective bargaining agreement requires equal treatment, while Apple states that the agreement only provides for transfers if a new store opens within a certain distance.
