In a significant development, workers at a Whole Foods store in Pennsylvania voted to unionize on Monday, becoming the first to do so since Amazon's acquisition of the grocery chain in 2017. The employees chose to join the local chapter of the United Food and Commercial Workers union, which represents over 800,000 grocery workers in the US and Canada. Of the 230 workers who participated, 130 favored union representation while 100 were opposed. Union leaders see this as a pivotal first step in negotiating better workplace conditions and securing a fair contract.
This fight is far from over, but today's victory is an important step forward.
We are ready to bring Whole Foods to the bargaining table to negotiate a fair first contract that reflects the workers' needs and priorities.
