ALT This afternoon in Minneapolis, we voted together to join Trader Joe’s United. Our landslide victory shows just how strongly we believe that Crew members from stores across the country can work together to gain the pay, benefits and working conditions we deserve. Since we started organizing, early this spring, we’ve had a million and one conversations with each other and you, our community, about what we need to do in order to improve our workplace. Together, we’ve asked really basic questions, like, what is a union? And harder questions, like what, in granular and concrete terms, is our long term vision for Trader Joe’s workers? This story, our story, where everyday folks come together in break rooms and at rallies and form brand new unions and struggle together — despite the fact that it is always difficult — this story will continue to be told, because we will continue to work together for a more equitable future.
