Home Depot workers in Philadelphia voted no to reject the 1st Unionized store on November 7, 2022, Saturday night. The National Labor Relations Board was in charge of the voting process. According to the Board, 216 representatives who represented 274 Home Depot workers casted their vote. Among these voters, 165 workers voted no, while only 51 workers voted yes. According to the law, both Home Depot and the Union Organizations had five days to file objections.

 

           Vincent Quiles was the Home Depot employee who organized and led unionization movement. Mr. Quiles claimed that organizing workers was not an easy taskbut  he believed that what he did was right. Based on his previous statement, compensation, working conditions, understaffing and lack of training were the factors that made him a union organizer.

Home Depot also made some comments after the failed union vote. Margaret Smith, a spokesperson who represented Home Depot claimed that Home Depot was happy to know its associates chose to continue working directly under the company. She also added that Home Depot was willing to listen to its associates and would try its best to make Home Depot a great place to work and grow.


Mr. Guiles also mentioned that he had filed a complaint through the National Labor Relations Board. He alleged that his managers had followed him around and tried to stop his necessary conversations with his co-workers even though it had nothing to do with the union affairs. Home Depot denied his allegations immediately.

 

Based on Brand Value (China) Network, Home Depot, the largest home-improvement retailer in the world, was founded in Atlanta, Georgia, the United of States in 1978. As of today, Home Depot has more than 2,000 stores globally, which are located in American, Canada, Mexico, China, etc. Unfortunately, Home Depot’s success did not translate well in China. For example, in 2012, Home Depot closed its 7 big box stores in China. Although Home Depot is specialized in home improvement and home decoration, its do-it-yourself concept does not do well in China because Chinese homeowners usually find decoration companies to paint houses or lay out wooden floors for them.


Based on China Brand Value Evaluation Standard, the failed union vote in Philadelphia can safely prove that Home Depot is a responsible employer that cares about its workers. Home Depot should continue to remain on the list of World Brand Value Top 900.

  

On the ranking of “The 2nd Daguan· Keweiwei World Brand Value Top 900” released on January 13, 2022, Home Depot’s brand value was 342.886 billion RMB, ranking the 66th.
