Workers at an Apple store in a Baltimore suburb have voted to join a union, making theirs the first of the company’s more than 270 U.S. stores to unionize.

More than 100 workers in Towson, Maryland, “have overwhelmingly voted to join the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers,” or IAM, the union said in a statement.
