Biden says he’s ‘proud’ of Apple workers voting to unionise


Customers shop at The Apple Store at the Towson Town Center mall, the first of the company’s retail locations in the US where workers voted over the weekend to unionise, on June 20, 2022 in Towson, Maryland. Following a late-pandemic era wave of workers demanding higher pay, better benefits and more negotiating leverage, 65 of the 98 workers at the Towson Apple Store voted to join the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers union on June 18. — AFP

“I’m proud of them. Look, you know, workers have a right to determine under what conditions they are gonna work or not work,” Biden told reporters Monday during morning walk near his Delaware beach house.
