Workers at Philadelphia Whole Foods Market become 1st to unionize at the Amazon-owned grocery chain



Workers at a Whole Foods Market in Pennsylvania successfully voted to unionize, marking the first victory for organized labor at an Amazon-owned grocery store. The employees at the Philadelphia store decided to join a local chapter of The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union for collective bargaining. Despite the company’s disappointment, the union is eager to negotiate a fair contract that addresses workers’ needs. Whole Foods maintains that it offers competitive compensation and benefits to its employees, but the union alleges unfair labor practices and retaliation against workers involved in union activities. This victory is seen as a significant step forward for workers in Amazon’s grocery business, where organizing efforts have met resistance.
