Just weeks after workers at an Amazon warehouse on Staten Island succeeded in a unionization vote, a group of workers at Apple's flagship store in Manhattan have launched a unionization effort of their own.

The organizers, who have dubbed themselves the Fruit Stand Workers United, are in the process of collecting signatures from workers, according to a report in the Washington Post.

The organizers, who have dubbed themselves "Fruit Stand Workers United," say they voted Feb. 21 to affiliate with Workers United, a national labor union that has supported the successful unionization efforts of Starbucks employees around the country, according to the site.

Already, Apple has been mounting stiff resistance with the labor organizers reporting "months" of efforts by the company to dissuade workers from supporting the unionization push.

People involved in the organizing effort told The Washington Post that they have endured months of efforts by Apple to convince employees that unionizing is a bad idea, accusing the company of "union busting" tactics. Now, they are handing out signature cards to would-be union members.
