Settled. The union that represents workers at MOM’s Organic Market in College Park have settled with workers on a complaint alleging the store discriminated against employees who supported the union.
The complaint accused the 18-store chain of offering pay raises for all employees except those working at the College Park store, which unionized two years ago.
“They tried everything to intimidate us and stop us from exercising our rights, but we stuck together as a union, stood up to management, and won what we were rightfully owed,” employee Laura Jackson said in a union-issued press release. “It just goes to show what a difference a union can make for workers like me.”
The settlement of $17,302 will compensate 74 employees at the store who were not paid at an increased rate for hours worked on weekends and holidays, according to the union.
