Our Union:
For the Crew, By the Crew
Trader Joe’s United is an independent labor union 100% founded and powered by us, Trader Joe’s workers. All of TJU’s leadership roles are filled by Trader Joe’s crew members. We are bagging groceries and stocking shelves while building a movement, writing contract proposals, and helping other stores organize.
It’s not just a catchphrase–we literally are the union.
Trader Joe’s Crew Members, Join Our Movement!
Are you ready to organize your store? In the last decade we’ve seen Trader Joe’s shift from a workplace with incredible pay, benefits, and a welcoming atmosphere–to a company with increasing turnover, declining benefits, and stagnating wages. It doesn’t have to be this way.
As worker organizers, we are building a movement to bring Trader Joe’s back into alignment with its own core values, which made it a great place to work and shop in the first place. Join us!
This form is intended for Trader Joe’s crew members who are interested in organizing their stores and joining our union. If you don’t work at Trader Joe’s but would like to show your support, please sign our petition.
Together, we have the power to improve our stores for workers and for customers.
