Baltimore Mayor Brandon M. Scott is calling on Apple to reconsider aspects of its plan to close the Apple Towson Town Center store and to improve how the company handles its affected unionized workers. The store closure is part of broader changes announced by Apple for June 20, with the Towson location closing along with two other stores in other regions, according to reporting referenced across outlets.
The criticism centers on the options available to employees at the Towson store. Multiple lawmakers and labor-related filings have previously urged Apple to address concerns about worker treatment as the store shuts down. A related unfair labor practice charge and earlier statements from Congress are cited as part of the growing pressure.
Mayor Scott’s public message repeats demands that Apple take one of several steps, including reconsidering whether to close the store and, if it proceeds, expanding job and relocation options for employees in the region. The calls come as unions and officials argue Apple should do more for workers whose positions are affected by the closure.
