Metro Atlanta Apple employees are pushing to unionize.

In April, employees at the Apple store in Cumberland Mall filed a request to hold a union election with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

Reports suggest the workers are calling for several changes, including stronger COVID-19 safety measures in stores, fair compensation and a commitment to promoting more BIPOC employees into leadership roles.
