Apple Store employees in Towson, Maryland have voted in favor of joining a union.
They are the first Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) employees to join organized labor. The company has been against unionization.
Organizers announced the outcome in a tweet, saying: "We did it Towson! We won our union vote! Thanks to all who worked so hard and all who supported! Now we celebrate with @machinistsunion. Tomorrow we keep organizing."

The vote was 65 to 33 with about 110 employees eligible to vote, CNBC reported.
Organizers wrote to CEO Tim Cook asking that he voluntarily recognize the union.
Apple's (AAPL) head of Retail and People, Deirdre O'Brien, has pushed back in May against the notion of the tech giant's stores forming unions.
