Philadelphia Whole Foods workers just unionized-just as Trump made it harder for them to get a contract

Whole Foods workers at a Philadelphia store have voted to unionize, marking a historic moment as the first store in the Amazon-owned chain to do so. However, the unionization efforts face challenges following the Trump administration's dismissal of National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) officials, which experts describe as a violation of the law. This action limits the NLRB's ability to protect worker rights, particularly regarding collective bargaining. The weakened board, now operating with only two members, cannot make decisions due to lack of quorum, potentially stalling union contract negotiations for workers across the country.

What this says is [the Trump administration] is okay with effectively denying workers in this country protection for their right to collectively bargain.

Under the National Labor Relations Act, companies must bargain in good faith, but there's little teeth to that law-and no monetary fines.
