Trader Joe’s workers at Essex Crossing claim retaliation

Tied to pro-union activities

Pro-union workers at a downtown Trader Joe’s whose staff voted not to unionize last year say they’re being retaliated against by managers for their continued outspoken support for unionization. 

Since December, two outspoken organizers at the Trader Joe’s location on Grand Street have been fired, five other workers say they were disciplined for organizing activity and at least three other pro-union employees were denied their scheduled raises, workers at the store say.
