Huffington Post: Subway Restaurant Workers In New Jersey Vote To Unionize

Thirteen workers at a Subway location in Bloomsbury, N.J., will soon be members of a union, a move some observers say will inspire others to do the same.

The workers voted eight to five in favour of unionizing, and will soon be members of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union.

The Subway employees work for Pilot Flying J, which runs the rest area where the Subway location is located. The company doesn’t seem to be objecting to the move, and issued only very neutral comments.
