Workers at the Trader Joe's store in Oakland's Rockridge neighborhood voted to unionize, but the national organizing effort suffered a setback.
The campaign to unionize Trader Joe’s workers has officially claimed a victory in the company’s home state. An Oakland store on Thursday became the first Trader Joe’s in California to unionize.
“If no objections are filed, the result will be certified and the employer will need to begin bargaining in good faith with the Oakland employees,” Blado said in an email.The win for the union in Oakland comes packaged with a loss: Also on Thursday, a bid to unionize a Trader Joe’s store in Manhattan narrowly failed when the vote by workers resulted in a 76-76 tie.
There are 56 open cases alleging unfair labor practices involving Trader Joe’s lodged with the federal labor board, most of which remain in the early stages of the process. The Oakland store is the third Trader Joe’s to unionize; workers at stores in Hadley, Mass., and Minneapolis have also voted to certify Trader Joe’s United as their representative.The upstart Trader Joe’s United sustained its first loss in October, when workers at a store in Brooklyn rejected the union in their vote.
