Whole Foods workers in Philadelphia became the first group to unionize under the grocery store chain. The vote came months after it filed to hold a union election in November.
Workers at a Whole Foods location in Philadelphia made history as the first group to successfully unionize under the grocery chain. The workers at the flagship Whole Foods store in Center City, represented by UFCW Local 1776, voted 130-100 to unionize on Monday, calling it "a significant victory" in its fight for fair compensation, improved benefits and better working conditions.
Despite a relentless onslaught of anti-union propaganda and intimidation, and multiple allegations of unfair labor practices committed by Whole Foods management, the workers have remained committed to unionizing. Today's vote is a testament to the power of collective action and their determination to achieve a voice on the job," the group said in a statement Tuesday.
