Workers at a Philly Whole Foods have just released the results of their union election—AND THEY WON!!!! 130-100, baby! 🦅

Philadelphia is now home to the first unionized Whole Foods Market in the U.S. One down, 500 more to go!
Region 4-Philadelphia conducted a ballot count today for 297full-time and part-time employees at Whole Foods in Philadelphia, PA to vote on union representation by UFCW Local 1176 Keystone State. Workers voted 130 to 100 for union representation. There were three challenged ballots that won’t be counted, because they aren’t determinative to the outcome of the election. The employer must begin bargaining in good faith with the union. Parties have five business days to file objections to the election. If no objections are filed, the result will be certified. Total number of eligible voters: 297 Void ballots: 1 Votes for union: 130 Votes against representation: 100 Challenged ballots: 3 Total valid votes cast: 233
