Store #2480 • Honesdale, PA
Why We’re Organizing
Associates at Walmart Store #2480 are organizing to secure a collective voice, improve transparency, and address ongoing workplace concerns through lawful union representation.
Our Goal
Our goal is simple: to ensure that associates are treated with fairness, dignity, and respect, and that decisions affecting our livelihoods are made transparently and consistently.
Organizing allows workers to come together, speak collectively, and seek solutions in a structured, lawful, and constructive way.
Key Issues Driving Organizing Conversations
Associates across different roles and areas of the store have raised similar concerns over time. These concerns are not about individual personalities, but about systems and patterns.
- Scheduling Stability: Inconsistent schedules and last-minute changes that make it difficult to plan family life, transportation, and second jobs.
- Staffing Levels: Chronic understaffing that increases workload, stress, and safety risks for associates while impacting customer service.
- Fairness & Consistency: Perceived inconsistencies in discipline, expectations, and enforcement of policies.
- Promotions & Advancement: Lack of transparency around advancement opportunities, selection criteria, and development pathways.
- Respect on the Job: Associates want a workplace culture where concerns can be raised without fear of retaliation or dismissal.
- Safety & Working Conditions: Concerns about workload, equipment, and staffing impacting associate well-being.
Why a Union?
A union provides a formal, legally protected structure for associates to speak collectively and negotiate working conditions.
Rather than addressing issues individually—where workers often feel unheard or vulnerable— union representation allows associates to advocate together with clarity, protection, and accountability.
Organizing is not about conflict. It is about balance, communication, and ensuring that associate voices are part of the conversation.
A Respectful, Lawful Process
This organizing effort is committed to accuracy, respect, and compliance with federal labor law. We encourage honest dialogue, fact-based discussion, and professionalism at every stage.
No claim of union certification or recognition is made unless and until it occurs through the appropriate legal process.
What Comes Next
Organizing begins with conversation and education. Associates are learning about their rights, discussing shared concerns, and exploring representation options together.
