Lake Wine and Spirits, the popular five-year-old liquor-and-cheese shop in south Minneapolis, fired nearly a third of its workforce after employees attempted to form a union.

Union organizer Abraham Wangnoo confirmed that several Lake Wine and Cheese employees were let go shortly after they filled out union cards and began organizing with the help of UFCW Local 1189, the food and commercial workers union that helped unionize the Wedge Co-Op employees in November.

The union has helped employees file charges with the National Labor Relations Board.

"We want to make sure justice is served here and that these companies honor the rights of workers," Wangnoo said.
