On Monday, workers at Philadelphia’s Center City Whole Foods Market voted 130–100 to be represented by the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union.

Employees at the Philadelphia’s Whole Foods store voted 130 to 100 in favor of joining a local chapter of the United Food and Commercial Workers.

Whole Foods workers in Philadelphia became the first group to unionize under the grocery store chain. The vote came months after it filed to hold a union election in November.

This is for the people who come behind us and for the people who have been here," said Khy Adams, a Whole Foods employee.
