America's first unionized Apple Store has officially closed. Apple cited the "declining conditions" of the Towson Mall as the reason for the closure. However, workers are being denied transfer rights to other stores, with the Maryland Congressional Delegation writing an open letter expressing concerns about that. Video by Krishna...

Declining conditions:

Keep fighting this and Apple will eventually move all its stores out of Maryland.

Gee maybe this soft on crime BS and the closure of juvenile detention facilities had something to do with it .

Damn right. Union workers think they contribute more than they actually do. Acting entitled gets you nowhere

@BaltimoreBanner literally hammers the nails into these worker's coffins by showing an absolutely deserted mall with zero foot traffic. His framing falls apart under simple observation.

@TonyBrunoShow Telling. The local Dems more upset at Apple than the teen takeovers and lack of safety at the mall. I would know. Was almost robbed years ago in the garage by Nordstrom’s.

Were these congressmen just as vocal about the jobs lost & other store closures like when Crate & Barrel departed in 2022, followed by Tommy Bahama, Madewell, Banana Republic this past year & next week Stoney River Steakhouse & Grill? Sounds like selective outrage.

@Apple has sent the message. Seems pretty clear to me. Maryland's significance in the grand scheme of things becomes apparent when it's congressional delegation gets this involved over the closure of one retail location.

Why is Towson Mall losing stores? Towson area was always considered one of the high end areas in Baltimore County. It’s where all the lawyers offices are. What’s happened?

Malls are empty. Look at your own video- no one is there. The same is true for the other malls in Maryland.

This is an example of incompetence leading entitlement. If a company can close one location with zero effect to their bottom line and the displaced union employees have no leverage other than complaining, they were never a legitimate union

Why can’t your union find you another job?!?! LOL.

Do not vote for any democrat candidate for county executive. They are all pro sanctuary county and anti law enforcement and soft on juvenile criminals

Fuck these losers. Nobody likes lazy union fags. We are invested in Apple and don’t want unions.

Unionized retail labor - what a fucking joke. Clowns.

The State of MD: “We are in charge of everything except making the money!”

Methinks it’s the unionized shop rather then the crime that led to the closing.

I’m sure there is some racial or gender factors being cited into the petition. Couldn’t be poor sales due to employee performance.

Welcome to the business world , is working in a cell phone store a career? ( outside management) why did they need to unionize?

Unions are parasites that destroy the host company.

I wonder if the employees would have sounded the alarm about “ declining conditions,” asking for more security, if it would have helped or was it inevitable?

No sane company wants a union.

Imagine under the Trump administration, corporations like Apple implementing union busting methods that will go unchecked and unpunished federally…if only union supporters realized this in 2024 😱 Suggestion VOTE appropriately for 26 midterms and 28 presidential

lol unionized cell phone salesman. Hilarious

Democratic leaders are more upset about Apples union workers at this location than employees from Stoney River, Tommy Bahama, Banana Republic and Wokenfuss. Fuck them I guess?

Go woke go broke

No, not an OPEN LETTER!

Because no one will prosecute the um...youths that break and steal sh** constantly

Capitalism working #USA

Couldn’t be the increase in crime! No way!

Locals turned that area into a shithole...

Yeah shootings and robberies outside the mall is aligned with Apples values. Towson used to be great and it’s become a hell hole.

The Towson Mall has been long plagued by hordes of young black shoplifters descending in co-ordinated mobs, stealing everything in sight. Black “teens” are killing American retail. 🤔

It closes and they expect to be rewarded with failure?
