CBSN
Trader Joe's is getting its first union location after workers at a store in Hadley, Massachusetts, voted to unionize, joining a wave of labor organizing in retail that has swept companies including Amazon, Apple and Starbucks.
Workers voted 45 to 31 to join Trader Joe's United, an independent union unaffiliated with a larger labor group. "We are incredibly proud of the work we have done together to win this union election, but winning is just the beginning," the union said on Twitter.
A second union election is set for a Trader Joe's in Minneapolis on August 11-12, while United Food and Commercial Workers Local 7 on Tuesday filed a union election petition for a Boulder, Colorado, store.
