Philadelphia Inquirer Covers Dispute with Home Depot Over Fair Workweek Law Requirements

The Philadelphia Inquirer recently covered the efforts of Home Depot employees to unionize as well as a complaint filed by William Bermudez in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court alleging the store’s management violated requirements of Philadelphia’s Fair Workweek Law. Bermudez is represented by Willig, Williams & Davidson attorney Ryan Hancock.

The article, Northeast Philly Home Depot workers reject union, explores the efforts of a group called Home Depot Workers United to form the first union for Home Depot employees. The group, led by organizer Vincent Quiles, raised concerns about compensation, staffing, working conditions, and upper management at a store in Northeast Philadelphia. Store employees recently voted against forming a union. Prior to the vote, Quiles and other employees filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board, alleging that their efforts to unionize were being met with “surveillance” and “propaganda” tactics by management.

Bermudez and workers at Home Depot’s four other Philadelphia stores filed a complaint alleging that management failed to provide current and incoming employees with the required “written, good-faith estimates” of how many hours they would be working and did not provide written work schedules in advance.

Hancock asserts that Home Depot employees will continue to push for better working conditions: “This is not the end of the fight.”
