Whole Foods said it was "disappointed" by the vote but "committed to maintaining a positive working environment"

Workers at a Whole Foods in Philadelphia are on track to be the first in company history to be represented by a labor union after a majority voted Monday to join the local chapter of the United Food and Commercial Workers.

According to the National Labor Relations Board, 130 workers voted to be represented by UFCW, while 100 voted against, out of nearly 300 eligible employees. Now, said NLRB’s Teddy Quinn, “The employer must begin bargaining in good faith with the union.”
