The Guardian reports that in late November, Whole Foods Employees at a Philadelphia Branch of the Multi-National Supermarket Chain - known for selling products free from such additives as hydrogenated fats and artificial colors, flavors and preservatives - filed to hold a Union Election.  The Workers are seeking Union Representation with United Food & Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 1776.  This is the very first Union filing for Whole Foods, which is nicknamed “Whole Paycheck” for its budget-busting prices.  That an Amazon-owned business has filed for a Union Election is newsworthy in and of itself because, as The Guardian reports, Amazon has “aggressively” opposed any form of Unionization.
