The campaign to unionize Trader Joe's workers has officially claimed a victory in the company's home state. An Oakland store on Thursday became the first Trader Joe's in California to unionize.
Workers at the store, located in the Rockridge neighborhood on College Avenue, voted 73-53 in favor of joining the independent union Trader Joe's United in an election tallied by the National Labor Relations Board on Thursday evening.
One additional vote was challenged and won't be counted since it won't affect the election outcome, said NLRB spokesperson Kayla Blado.
