Following a strike authorization last month , union-represented workers at the Oklahoma City Apple store in Penn Square Mall have reached a tentative labor contract with the tech giant. Nearly two years after voting to unionize , employees represented by the Communications Workers of America (CWA) announced the agreement on Friday afternoon. This makes the Oklahoma City store the second union-represented Apple location in the U.S. to secure an agreement, following a Maryland store that reached a contract in July.
"Today, my 80 coworkers and I have just secured a tentative agreement with the world’s most profitable corporation," said Kirsten Matson, member of the Apple Retail Union-CWA. "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."
A vote to ratify the contract is scheduled for Sept. 22.
