uhh, this requires a bargaining agreement. This store unionized by election because Apple wouldn't voluntarily recognize them, and they don't have a contract because Apple won't voluntarily negotiate with them.

then they strike. if they aren't willing to unite to bargain, then are they even a union or are they just employees paying some con-artist dues to call them a union?
