Philadelphia workers at Amazon’s Whole Foods file for first union election

Summary

Workers at a Whole Foods store in Philadelphia have filed for a union election, citing low pay, high workloads, and intense productivity demands.

Amazon, which acquired Whole Foods in 2017, has aggressively opposed unionization efforts and is challenging the constitutionality of the National Labor Relations Board.

The union drive comes as workers feel overworked and under pressure from management.
