Amazon-owned Whole Foods is asking the National Labor Relations Board to set aside the results of a union election in which the first group of the company’s employees voted in favor of collective bargaining.

Amazon, which purchased Whole Foods Market in 2017, has filed objections to last month's successful union election.

Employees at the Whole Foods Market Center City store won their unionization campaign through community support and by prioritizing the needs of co-workers.

The specialty grocer filed objections to the NLRB claiming the UFCW Local 1776 “illegally interfered” with its staffers’ “fair right to vote.”

Workers at a Whole Foods Market in Pennsylvania have voted to unionize, becoming the first group of employees to pull off a labor win at the Amazon-owned grocery store chain.

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.
