Amazon's Whole Foods asks agency to set aside the results of a union win at a Philadelphia store
Amazon-owned Whole Foods is asking the National Labor Relations Board to set aside the results of a union election that led to a labor win. In a filing submitted to the agency this week, attorneys for Whole Foods Market argued the union involved with the election at a store in Philadelphia interfered with the process. Among other things, the company said the union provided free transportation to workers on the day of the vote. UFCW Local 1776, the local union that pulled off the win, called the company’s allegations baseless. It also said the objections filed by Whole Foods was a legal maneuvering done to delay the bargaining process.
