Apple Inc. has reached a tentative collective bargaining agreement with retail employees in Maryland, the International Association of Machinists said Friday, a first for the company’s US stores.

The deal is subject to approval by the roughly 85 employees in the bargaining unit, who are slated to vote on it Aug. 6. The agreement includes rules about scheduling, severance, and sub-contracting, and requires that any discipline not be “arbitrary, capricious or without merit,” an IAM spokesperson said. The three-year deal will increase pay by an average of 10% and maintains the status quo on healthcare, retirement, and staffing, according to the union.

Nearly $7.9 million. That’s how much local businesses throughout Maryland will be getting. One of those small businesses is the Baltimore Music Company – they say this is the last piece of the puzzle to make their business complete. “This is it. This completes dreams. This lets us build instruments here, repair instruments here,” said Steve Blake, the owner.
