Apple workers at the Towson, Maryland mall have secured the first union contract at one of the tech giant's retail stores. The tentative labor agreement, reached with the International Association of Machinists, includes average raises of 10% over a three-year contract, a bump in starting pay for 80% of jobs, and limits on contracting and severance. The agreement also promises improvements in work-life balance, job security, fairness, and scheduling. This marks a historic milestone as the first such agreement between Apple and its retail employees in the United States.
