FILE - Shopping carts are parked outside a Home Depot in Philadelphia, Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2022. – Home Depot workers in Philadelphia rejected the first store-wide labor union at the world's largest home improvement retailer Saturday night, a loss for a fledgling movement to organize at major U.S. companies.WHYY-FM reportedThe National Labor Relations Board oversaw the voting.
Vincent Quiles, the Home Depot employee leading the unionization effort, told WHYY that the attempt to organize workers had been a “tall order.” Home Depot firmly opposes unionization, saying it has an open door policy allowing employees to bring concerns directly to managers. Instead, Quiles said he relied on TikTok videos, group text messaging and e-mailing to campaign for the union. Although more than 100 workers signed the petition demanding the election, Quiles said he was never able to persuade any co-workers to join him in speaking out publicly.
