2024 Trader Joe's Unionization Discussion Megathread

There has been some misunderstanding and/or or misinformation claiming that human moderators are intentionally censoring or deleting union posts on r/traderjoes, which is false. 

Human Moderators are not and should not be expected to be online 24/7. Moderators often rely on AutoModerator (bot) to assist with various tasks. Posts that do not follow subreddit rules and/or are reported multiple times may be removed for varying reasons. When a post is repeatedly reported, AutoModerator will automatically remove that post as a precautionary measure.

Previous union related posts that were removed by AutoModerator preemptively will be reviewed and manually reinstated as long as subreddit rules were followed and they are not reposts.

Moving forward, all future union discussions will be directed to this Megathread. This will help keep all unionization discussions and union updates organized. 

As previously mentioned, we understand the importance of support for Crew Members and creating a space for union discussions but if you do not agree with somebody else's comment, please keep comments civil - this includes no name-calling and please do not vindictively report comments for "Someone is considering suicide or serious self-harm" inappropriately.
