A labor union has filed a complaint alleging that a major tech company is treating unionized employees differently during a store closure. Workers at a unionized retail location are reportedly being denied internal transfer opportunities, while employees at non-union stores are allowed to move to other positions. The union argues this constitutes retaliation tied to union membership and has asked federal regulators to investigate. The company maintains it is following the terms of its existing labor agreement, setting up a legal dispute over workplace rights and employer obligations.
