A Trader Joe's store in Louisville, Kentucky, has become the grocery chain's third to vote to unionize.
Employees have unionized hundreds of Starbucks stores over the last year, as well as Apple stores and an Amazon warehouse.
In the years since the pandemic, workers have increasingly flexed their muscle to demand better pay and treatment. Last year saw the biggest number of strikes in 15 years, with the ranks of unionized workers swelling by 273,000.But Trader Joe's United hasn't convinced workers at every store where it has campaigned. A Trader Joe's in Brooklyn, New York, voted against unionizing in October.
Trader Joe's didn't respond Friday to a message seeking comment on the vote. The company has said in the past that it already offers higher starting pay and better benefits than other grocers. Monrovia, California-based Trader Joe's is privately held by the families that also own Aldi Nord, a German grocer. Trader Joe's operates around 530 stores in the U.S.
