Trader Joe’s did not reply to multiple requests for comment on this story in response to the allegations made by workers in Boulder. But employees were given no prior notice to the store closure and the location had several years left on its lease. Trader Joe’s denied the store closure was linked to the unionization efforts, and said the store was closed due to underperformance. UFCW has launched a petition to demand Trader Joe’s reopen the store and signaled intent to pursue legal action. In New York City, the United Food and Commercial Workers Union (UFCW) have filed charges alleging that Trader Joe’s abruptly closed a wine shop in New York City just days before workers had planned to file for a union election. And we might be able to get more stuff too, but if we don’t have a contract, we’re probably losing this in the next year or two, at least some of it.” “When you’re union busting, you can do it through the carrot or the stick, so to speak, and Trader Joe’s was trying to use the carrot,” said Dailey.

He noted that the pay and benefits announcement in July severely disrupted the union campaign, but emphasized that those benefits can be taken away at the whim of the employer without a contract. “And then to add insult to injury, we found out that the new hires were making $2 more per hour.” Some of them had re-signed up on leases with their apartment, expecting to have that extra $2 an hour,” said Dailey. “They were worried that without that extra money they weren’t sure how they were going to pay their bills. Keenan Dailey, who has worked at Trader Joe’s for 14 years in Boulder, also cited those cuts as inspiring the union organizing campaign, as workers were disgruntled over those sudden cuts.

That memo was cited by workers who launched the first union campaign at Trader Joe’s in Massachusetts earlier this year, claiming that retirement benefits for workers were unilaterally cut in half by the company and pay bumps provided during the pandemic were rescinded despite high inflation concerns. In the beginning of the Covid pandemic, Trader Joe’s chief executive Dan Bane issued a company-wide memo calling union organizing efforts a “distraction” amid calls for hazard pay and safety protections. “If they really care that much about us, they’d be paying us a lot more rather than paying a bunch of union busting lawyers to feed lines to our management.” But none of this is secured and they can take it away whenever they want,” said McKinzie. “It’s very much a shallow attempt to discourage people from unionizing by trying to make them feel like their employer is actually taking care of them. Trader Joe’s also retained Littler Mendelson, a union avoidance law firm that Starbucks has also retained as dozens of stores around the US have unionized over the past year.Īspen McKinzie, a Trader Joe’s worker at the Boulder store, explained the union organizing campaign started earlier this year over complaints from workers about pay increases and benefits that were enacted at the company during the pandemic being taken away without any input from workers. They include the use of company property used by some workers at the store to create anti-union buttons and retaliating against a union supporting worker by removing them from their regular Sunday shift and replacing them with an anti-union worker. The union pulled the election petition recently and filed unfair labor practice charges over the announcement of new pay and benefits during their unionization campaign and have alleged several other instances of retaliation. “That in itself is illegal, they can’t do that.” “We believe that was in response to union activity not only in this store, but the other stores around the country,” said Jim Hammons, organizing director at UFCW Local 7. The same month, Trader Joe’s announced company-wide increases to compensation and benefits, including an increase to discounts for employees from 10 to 20%, a $10 an hour premium pay for Sundays, an increase to paid time off and market rate pay adjustments over complaints about pay disparities between longer term employees and new hires.

In Boulder, Colorado, workers at a Trader Joe’s had filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board to hold a union election in July to join United Food and Commercial Workers Local 7.
