Whole Foods Market workers at one of the grocer’s Philadelphia locations have filed a petition with the National Labor Regulations Board to hold a union election, according to a Friday press release.
Supported by the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1776, employees at the store claim the grocer “refuses to pay their workers a living wage.”
If the vote for the union passes, this would be the first Whole Foods location to be unionized, according to UFCW Local 1776.
