Mom’s Organic Market workers vote to unionize with Teamsters

Employees at Mom’s Organic Market in Baltimore’s Hampden neighborhood voted 58-5 to form a union with Teamsters Local 570. Moses Jackson, the vice president of Local 570, said employees at Mom’s voted overwhelmingly in favor of forming a union Friday night. Rank-and-file employees at the supermarket had filed a petition for a representation election last month in their effort to unionize 75 workers, including all “full-time and part-time generalists, coffee roast, grocery, wellness, produce, naked lunch and cashiers.” Jackson, speaking after the election, said the vote means “for the first time, they will have a say at their job.”
