Make A Solidarity Donation to Trader Joe's United

Christmas is right around the corner, and Trader Joe’s is rolling out its holiday specials. And that means: Jingle Jangle.

Whether you’re getting the original recipe, Jingle Jangle-encrusted pretzels, Jingle Jangle ice cream or even Jingle Jangle dog treats… We’ve got you. (I promise these are all real. Even the dog treats.)


But customers always ask, how can we shop at Trader Joe’s and support the crew members who are fighting for a union?


It’s simple: Before you go shopping, make a solidarity donation to Trader Joe’s United. Your support makes sure the union can keep bargaining a fair contract with corporate―no matter how much corporate fights.


Even if you’re not into Jingle Jangle―maybe you’re more of a Winter Wassail Punch person, or you’re just picking up a tasteful pointsettia, we don’t want you to stop shopping at Trader Joe’s!


Trader Joe's United's most powerful allies are Trader Joe’s customers who are willing to speak out in support of our crew members. Trader Joe’s likes to market itself as progressive-friendly. But CEO Bryan Palbaum and the rest of the executives are terrified that TJ’s customers will see that behind the tie-dyed shirts and Spiced Cranberry Granola is a greedy corporation like any other.


Trader Joe’s has fought every step of the way on winning a fair contract. And because the union don’t have a first contract, they can’t collect dues―which means that Trader Joe's United only exists because of the support of people like you, responding to appeals like this one.
