Months after Whole Foods workers voted to unionize at one of the company’s Philadelphia locations, those efforts could be at a standstill indefinitely.
The Amazon-owned company has challenged the Enero union election‘s validity and is taking its next appeal to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), which does not currently have enough members to issue rulings.
“Whole Foods is trying to drag their feet and act like the union does not exist,” said Ben Lovett of the store’s prepared foods department. “They want to throw out the results of our election, where we got a clear majority of support, and they are just doing everything they can to not negotiate with their workers.”

State Sen. Christine Tartaglione (D–2, Philadelphia) formally introduced Senate Bill 19, legislation aimed at raising Pennsylvania’s minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2026 and tying future increases to the cost of living. The bill also strengthens wage protections for tipped employees and modernizes enforcement tools to prevent wage theft and ensure fair pay across the Commonwealth.
“It’s been 19 years since Pennsylvania last raised its minimum wage,” said Sen. Tartaglione. “In that time, the cost of rent, food, childcare, transportation, and healthcare has steadily increased, while wages at the bottom have remained stagnant. Senate Bill 19 is an effort to correct nearly two decades of inaction and to provide workers with a living wage that reflects today’s economic realities.”
