Employees at a Trader Joe’s supermarket in Hadley, Massachusetts became the first Trader Joe’s with an employees union.
Customers walk to a Trader Joe's market in Cambridge, Mass. Employees of a Trader Joe's grocery store in Hadley, Massachusetts became the latest workers at a major company to approve a labor union.
Now that the union has been approved, the next step is putting together a negotiating committee to hammer out a contract with the California-based company, which has about 550 stores nationwide, union organizer and 18-year Trader Joe’s employee Maeg Yosef said. Workers from at least two other Trader Joe’s locations have initiated unionization efforts. Employees at a Minneapolis location have a union vote scheduled for Aug. 11 and 12, while the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 7 on Tuesday filed a union election petition with the National Labor Relations Board on behalf of crew members at a Boulder, Colorado store.
Trader Joe’s management has engaged in what Yosef called “classic union-busting” tactics, including hiring a law firm specializing in fighting unionization to try and talk employees out of approving a union.
