Workers at a Home Depot in Philadelphia have overwhelmingly voted against becoming the first store in the chain to be represented by a union.
The National Labor Relations Board, which oversees union elections, reported that only 51 employees voted to join Home Depot Workers United, and 165 voted against it. The store, at 4640 Roosevelt Blvd. in Philadelphia, has about 275 employees.
Since winning the vote at the Staten Island facility, the Amazon union has lost votes at two other distribution centers, one in Staten Island, and one near Albany, New York, and withdrawn a petition to hold a vote at a California location. And although there has been a 58% surge in organizing elections so far this year, unions have lost about 31% of the votes concluded through September, the most recent figure available from the NLRB.
