Who needs unions when you've got free samples!

As far as we offenders of workers rights go, Trader Joe’s is on the lower end of the list

Who needs unions when you have a decent workplace and adequate pay! It’s nice they’re bringing the samples back, doesn’t have to be the cure for cancer.

Lol they don't have "adequate pay" - hence the union word floating around lately.

This is a silly false dilemma: they're not asking for the cure for cancer, dude - just the ability to afford a one-bedroom apartment. Less skuzzy healthcare criteria would be neat too.

Do you run Union-busting PR for Trader Joe's or something lol? Try a sample of some empathy.

Naw man Trader Joe’s has WAY better pay and bennies than Safeway and their union. And more flexibility than Safeway on hours and job stuff because they don’t have union rules to contend with. I’ve worked for both companies btw.

Sprouts needs a union, those poor souls

Who needs the cure for cancer when I personally watched the company drain & exploit my spouse for years and then ultimately fuck them out of healthcare anyway?

The sad reality is TJs really is way better than other grocery jobs and it’s STILL exploitative and shitty. Good branding to make TJs seem like a neighborhood shop will make people forget that, but multibillion dollar companies like this all have the same core issues regarding the exploitation & dehumanization of their workers, and TJs is no exception.
