If a majority of the roughly 140 eligible crew members at the store vote to unionize, the location will become the first unionized Trader Joe’s in Chicago and fifth nationwide.
Trader Joe’s workers and supporters cheer as they announce they’re filing for a union election, April 7, 2024, in North Center. Grocery workers at a North Side Trader Joe’s filed for a union election Monday. If a majority of the approximately 140 eligible crew members at the 3745 N. Lincoln Ave. store vote to unionize, the location will become the first unionized Trader Joe’s in Chicago and the fifth nationwide.
Powers, a member of the workers’ organizing committee, said she typically receives raises of 75 cents twice a year and has received a bonus a few times, but finds the raises are barely enough to keep up with the cost of living. “We have a written performance evaluation that they see ahead of time, they know what they’re working towards,” she said.
The Chicago filing comes as the grocery chain has pushed back against worker organization within its ranks, saying at a National Labor Relations Board hearing earlier this year that the structure of the labor board and its administrative law judges is unconstitutional. SpaceX and Amazon have made similar arguments in recent months.
