Trader Joe's Workers in Massachusetts Organize Grocery Chain's First-Ever Union
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Massachusetts, workers at a Trader Joe's outlet in the town of Hadley
have become the first to organize a union at the grocery chain. Workers
voted 45 to 31 to join the newly formed Trader Joe's United, overcoming
what organizers said was a relentless union-busting campaign. Trader
Joe's workers in at least two other states have also launched union
organizing drives.
