Whole Foods workers at the Spring Garden store have expressed frustration about low pay and want better health-care benefits.

Whole Foods said it was "disappointed" by the vote but "committed to maintaining a positive working environment"

Now, a battle lies ahead when working out the first contract between Whole Foods and the unionized workers. "This is going to be the longest uphill battle of our lives, but this is not just for us. This is for the people who come behind us and for the people who have been here," said Khy Adams, a Whole Foods employee.

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.

The Philadelphia Whole Foods store is the first to successfully unionize since Amazon acquired the supermarket chain for $13.7 billion. A prior unionization effort at a Whole Foods store in Madison, Wisconsin, succeeded in 2002 but was dissolved by employees the following year.

The unionization vote comes despite a “barrage of union-busting techniques, intimidation, threats, coercion” and wrongful firings, UFCW Local 1776 President Wendell Young IV said in an interview.

Workers voted 130-100 for union representation at the Center City in Philadelphia, according to the National Labor Relations Board.
