And, by May 25, 2022, there were more petitions filed than in the whole of 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those numbers illustrate just how strong the new labor movement is and how dedicated workers are to making their voices heard and improving their conditions in the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think a lot of us have felt hopeless about the future, and I think for a lot of us unionizing was like a beacon of hope,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketplace.org\/2022\/07\/15\/union-petitions-were-up-56-in-last-9-months-federal-labor-agency-says\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Neha Cremin<\/a>, a barista at a Starbucks in Oklahoma City, tells Marketplace reporter Meghan McCarty Carino. \u201cYou know, \u2018Oh, we can do something. We can affect meaningful change.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the most recent union victories and worker wins demonstrating that meaningful change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maryland Apple Store Workers Form Company\u2019s First Union<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On June 18, 2022, workers at the Apple store in Towson, Maryland, voted to join the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. Of the 110 employees who were eligible to vote, 65 voted in favor of union recognition and 33 voted against. Ten days later, the NLRB certified the election results. With this victory, the workers at the store became the first to form a union at Apple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The collective, known as the Coalition of Organized Retail Employees (CORE), wrote a letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook expressing their motivation for organizing. \u201cWe have come together as a union because of a deep love of our role as workers within the company and out of care for the company itself,\u201d wrote <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goiam.org\/dear-tim\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CORE<\/a> organizers. \u201cTo be clear, the decision to form a union is about us as workers gaining access to rights that we do not currently have.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this is the first win, they are not the only group of Apple workers organizing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Employees at stores in New York, Kentucky, Georgia, and other states are in the midst of unionizing. This victory may be the inspiration they need to stay the course. \u201cWorkers are already organizing at other Apple stores, but this shows them the company is not invincible,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2022\/06\/20\/1106264834\/maryland-apple-store-union\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">John Logan<\/a>, professor and director of labor and employment studies at San Francisco State University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"857\" src=\"https:\/\/uniontrack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image2-3.jpg\" alt=\"Workers at an Apple store; union victories concept.\" class=\"wp-image-3258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uniontrack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image2-3.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/uniontrack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image2-3-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uniontrack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image2-3-1024x731.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/uniontrack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image2-3-768x548.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Massachusetts Trader Joe\u2019s Employees Form Company\u2019s First Union<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Employees at a Hadley, Massachusetts, Trader Joe\u2019s became the first to join <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/traderjoesunite\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trader Joe\u2019s United<\/a>, the independent union formed to recognize Trader Joe\u2019s employees. On July 28, 2022, 45 of the 81 eligible employees voted to join the union while 31 voted against.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis victory is historic, but not a surprise,\u201d wrote the union in a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TraderJoesUnite\/status\/1552737467857600512\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">post-election Tweet<\/a>. \u201cSince the moment we announced our campaign, a majority of the crew have enthusiastically supported our union, and despite the company&#8217;s best efforts to bust us, our majority has never wavered.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company\u2019s anti-union campaign included classic union-busting tactics, says longtime employee and organizer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salon.com\/2022\/08\/06\/essential-workers-were-invisible-first-trader-joes-union-a-sign-of-post-labor-surge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Maeg Yosef<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCounter to their public support for a fair vote, corporate mounted an intense anti-union campaign that included visits from higher-ups, threats and misinformation about unions, and captive audience meetings where management explicitly asked crew members to \u2018vote no,\u2019\u201d Yosef explains. \u201cWe were prepared for these classic union-busting tactics, so we held our majority of support in Hadley.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though the first, the win in Hadley may not be the only one.

They filed for a union election to certify <a href=\"https:\/\/www.afscme36.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 36<\/a> as its bargaining representative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The workers were so sure they would win that the AMWU asked the Academy to voluntarily recognize the union instead of holding an election. As theater operations staffer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/academy-museum-workers-united-union-recognition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hunter Logan<\/a> put it: \u201cWhether it is now or through an election, this union is being formed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In response to the request, the Academy voluntarily recognized the AMWU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled to have come to an agreement with the Academy Museum over recognition of our union, and to have 69% union support from our co-workers,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.afscme.org\/blog\/academy-museum-of-motion-pictures-recognizes-workers-union\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Viviana Santillan<\/a>, a visitor experience associate at the Academy Museum. \u201cNow we can move forward in building a working relationship with museum leadership and focus on having a voice over our working conditions and the creative professions to make this institution the best in our community and the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"801\" src=\"https:\/\/uniontrack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image3-1.jpg\" alt=\"Woman in lab coat working in laboratory, using microscope; union victories concept.\" class=\"wp-image-3259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uniontrack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image3-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/uniontrack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image3-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uniontrack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image3-1-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/uniontrack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image3-1-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Postdoctoral Researchers at Icahn Mount Sinai School of Medicine Win Union Election<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Postdoctoral researchers at Icahn Mount Sinai School of Medicine voted in June 2022 to form the <a href=\"https:\/\/sinaipostdocunion.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sinai Postdoctoral Organizing Committee<\/a> and to affiliate with the United Auto Workers Union (UAW) as its bargaining representative. It was a decisive victory, with 317 eligible employees voting to unionize and only 37 opposing. The unit will represent more than 500 workers at the institution, and it is only the second postdoctoral union ever established at a private institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The workers followed in the footsteps of postdoctoral researchers at Columbia University who voted to form the <a href=\"https:\/\/columbiapostdocunion.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Columbia Postdoctoral Workers &#8211; UAW Local 4100<\/a> in 2018 after researchers became fed up with their working conditions and not being heard by management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That lack of voice is the same reason Mount Sinai chose to organize. \u201cWe didn\u2019t have a say, so that\u2019s why we organized,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peoplesworld.org\/article\/no-raise-in-four-years-eviction-after-two-sinai-postdocs-unionize-with-uaw\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pooja Viswanathan<\/a>, a postdoctoral researcher in neurology. \u201cThis is the only way to go forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their victory was another monumental win for workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are so energized by this vote,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/sinaipostdocunion.org\/vote-release\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Yajing Xu<\/a>, a postdoctoral researcher in neuroscience, of the victory. \u201cWe are confident that our union will be good for us and good for Mount Sinai, and we look forward to meeting them at the table soon to bargain a contract that makes us all stronger.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Researchers at the University of Washington Win Union Election<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After six months of waiting, researchers at the University of Washington finally held their union election on June 10, 2022, and secured an overwhelming majority of votes in favor of unionizing with United Auto Workers Local 4121. The bargaining unit, <a href=\"https:\/\/uwresearchersunited.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UW Researchers United &#8211; UAW 4121<\/a>, will represent more than 1,400 researchers at the university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAfter incredible participation in our union election, our Researcher Union is official,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestand.org\/2022\/06\/thrilled-uw-researchers-vote-union-yes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cara Margherio<\/a>, assistant director at the university&#8217;s Center for Evaluation and Research for STEM Equity, after the vote. \u201cI am thrilled we are one step closer to bargaining a fair contract with the UW Administration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cResearch Scientists are showing that they\u2019re not going to let the University administration slow them down,\u201d says Ron McInroy, director of UAW Region 4, in the same article in The Stand. \u201cThe UAW International has their backs. We\u2019ll keep fighting until these workers get the respect they deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With union victories taking place, other workers are inspired to unionize their own workplaces.
