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. Should be shut down.

Bread, too, starts molding before you make it to the cash register

I like to picture the Aldi brother as like this humanitarian filled to the brim with compassion who just wants to bring people good affordable food and dignity at work and the Trader Joe’s brother as basically Snidely Whiplash in like a Northface vest with cargo shorts twirling his mustache about his evil grocery schemes.

Doesn’t this sorta destroy their whole image they worked so hard to promote and build their entire company around?

Huh.

You think the liberals that flock to that store give a shit?

Whole Foods is run by a hard-core conservative, and that hasn’t stopped the Left from throwing money at that company.

What about Apple and its long time track record of employing near-slave labor in China?

As with almost all topics, most liberals will almost never inconvenience themselves for the same causes they supposedly promote. This is why stuff like “green-washing” is so prevalent - people just want to see some happy-happy-joy-joy images that something is being done, rather than lift a finger to actually do anything. While the Right takes the methodical approach of advancing their cause over years and decades, the Left can’t be bothered to focus on anything for more than a few days before they jump to the next hot topic.

We don’t shop there a ton cause it’s a bit of a drive. Any Trader Joe’s we have been to has awesome customer service and I like their selection.

Sucks to hear this. I’ll never go there again.

Yep. They billed themselves and chill and employee focused. Hence the “relaxed” dress codes and atmosphere. Turns out, they’re just another corporate pig hiding behind some cheap makeup.

Aldi and Trader Joe’s share a weird corporate relationship, but you should know that Aldi is just as anti-union. You will not find a unionized Aldi.
