Union won elections in four stores, Trader Joe’s continues to union bust, refuse to bargain in good faith. Trader Joe’s threatened and coerced workers, continues to drag feet at bargaining table.

    Fuck Trader Joes.

    Their fucking cheese always molds like two days after you get it home, because they recut it in unsanitary warehouses. And if you do the math, their weird package sizes are consistently a bad deal for the consumer. They are a scam organization. Fucking scabs.

    Trader Joe’s is the shittiest company. Look it all their unethical food sources in the news. Half that shit looks like rebranded frozen banquet dinners at a premium price that they say is cheap.

      I’ve never understood the fanaticism some people have with this place. The food they sell as their own is just repackaged stuff you can under a different name with another label most anywhere else.

    Wtf, I thought TJs was one of the few big companies that wasn’t being a bag of dicks about this?

      Nah they were being a bag of dicks during the pandemic too. TJ is good for cheap food that tastes good but it’s not the bastion of chill dudes like it pretends to be

      No they, they’ve been a bag of dicks about this for years.

      I know this and I’m not even American.

      They are very anti-union.

      They know. All the crunchy stores do. Whole Foods, even before it was owned by Bezos was like that. One time they brought us all to an off site “meeting” on the clock at a nice hotel conference hall to explain why unions were bad.

      There’s a lotta money in selling “guilt free” products to libs

    A lot of hate on here. I generally had decent experience with their product, I don’t do their frozen tho.

    As for OP, disgusting!!! If this keeps up, will cut them out completely. Issue is there, is no labour friendly food retailers. I guess Costco is known to be decent to staff, but I am sure they are anti union also.

    FYI Trader Joe’s is run by Aldi Nord

    (And that’s a different company than Aldi Süd, which runs the ALDI stores we Americans know, they split in the 60’s)
