Apple store employees at the Cumberland Mall in Atlanta filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) on April 20 to hold a union election amid a wave of unionization attempts at retail stores across the country.

If the vote is successful, the workers would be the first Apple retail store to unionize in the United States.
