Everyone’s favorite store, Trader Joe’s, is facing a unionization push—and it seems some managers are not happy with this fact.
With the possibility of a union being formed in the chain-store’s Hadley, Massachusetts location, there are reports that employees are being pulled aside and specifically asked by supervisors to vote against the quickly formingTrader Joe’s United is currently a start-up association—they are working with pro bono labor lawyers to put their organization together legally. In an, the organizers wrote: “Two years ago, in March of 2020, you mailed a letter to our homes.
But on top of that, Trader Joe’s has the reputation of being a great place to work: stores are operated along a work culture that promotes the idea that each store location is a ship with a captain , a team of eight to 12 mates , and a crew. All team members are said to be guaranteed a competitive pay with a 7% annual increase; a health plan; paid time-off; a 401-retirement plan; and a store discount.
Even prior to the pandemic, one former Trader Joe’s crew member said, “In the Trader Joe’s manual it tells you that there’s no bureaucracy, that there’s no hierarchy. But yeah, there’s absolutely a hierarchy, absolutely. Like they can make up the rules as they go as to why they don’t want to keep you. And they reserve the right to deny you a raise: it doesn’t matter, whatever reason.
If Trader Joe’s United establishes a union at the Hadley, Massachusetts store, it will obviously have trickle down effects on the chain’s other stores—and workers in New York are keeping an eye out for how the union vote progresses.
