Most of the workers in the Hall Foods in Philadelphia vote for the union, as Reuters reported. As a result, Pennsylvania first assembles unions under the ownership of Amazon, and is the second overall.
According to the National Labor Committee, the workers voted 130 to 100 to the representatives of the representatives. Workers in this specific place were submitted to conduct union elections in November. However, successful voting is only the beginning of this process, as the contract has been ratified and unacceptable by both parties.
“We are ready to bring a Hall Foods into a negotiated table to negotiate the fair -based first contract that reflects the needs and priority of workers,” said the United Food and Commercial Worker, 1776 local Workers. Wendel Young IV is described by email.
Not surprising, WHOLE FOODS has expressed disappointment in the voting results. The company’s representative told Reuters that they have already provided “competitive rewards, great profits, and career advances.” Prior to the voting, workers quoted better wages and benefits.
As mentioned earlier, this is the first successful union bidding for WHOLE FOODS workers since acquiring a company nearly $ 14 billion in 2017. However, this is not the first time that WHOLE FOODS has voted to the union. Workers at Wisconsin’s location voted in 2002 to union, but the following year, the union broke up.
For a complete disclosure, I worked in WHOLE FOODS in 2005. One day, someone sneaked in at the store and distributed a parent union pamphlet. The management sent us a military security guard from us to collect pamphlets. It was strange.
It is not a secret that Amazon is not a union friend. Quebec workers combined the union last year, but surprisingly, the company has now closed the entire facility. Amazon is more than $ 2.5 trillion, and the value has doubled in the past year.
