Whole Foods workers form first union since Amazon acquisition
Whole Foods workers in Philadelphia have voted to unionize. This is the first time this has happened to the Amazon-owned grocery chain.
"We are ready to bring Whole Foods to the bargaining table to negotiate a fair first contract that reflects the workers' needs and priorities," Wendell Young IV, President of the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1776, said in an email.
