Despite successful unionization drives at two Trader Joe's locations, workers reject union at a Brooklyn location
After two successful unionization drives at Trader Joe's locations, workers at a Brooklyn, NY location rejected the union vote on Thursday. This reflects some of the fears that unionization momentum is slowing down as a union vote was also rejected recently at an Amazon location. Workers at the Brooklyn Trader Joe's in favor of the union had been seeking an increase in wages and health benefits. However, overall, Trader Joe's is known for providing competitive wages compared to the rest of the industry, and the company has responded to this union rejection favorably.
