The employer 1a rights trumps employee 1a rights on the job site.

THe Supreme Court ruled on that a long time ago.

“We’re worried that it’s leaning toward a more super-corporate, you’re-just-another-cog-in-the-machine kind of employee situation.”

Go work somewhere else.

One time only. Never again. The air of smugiosity was too much for me.

Terrible headline. It's not the mere fact that employees wear BLM masks that violates the First Amendment. It's that the DOL forcing Whole Foods to permit employees to wear those masks in contravention of a neutral rule prohibiting saying of any kind on masks.

So in essence, employees are making politic statements to customers during working hours, and the DOL says Whole Foods must permit that.

I hope WF keeps fighting that.

…that banned its employees from wearing “busy patterns on clothing or face coverings, buttons or pins on employee aprons…

No flair!

Express your opinions on your own time.

When you are on company time, you are representing the company to the public. They have a right to control that image.

He who pays the fiddler calls the tune.

Welcome to reality, cupcake. Suck it up.

They are learning welfare recipients and radical leftists are not Whole Foods Customers.

If I see “woke” - I immediately leave and never spend a penny there again.

So devil’s advocate here.... Free enterprise means free enterprise. I believe all independent corporations should have their own say in how they run their business. What you wear, what you do, what you say even if it can be traced you are an employee, that is all free market. Even if they want to demand the jab, that is their choice in a free market. The idea is either the labor market will tolerate these corporate demands or they are forced into a situation where they must revise policies or be short handed.

That being said, any employee screaming about being fired for their MAGA hat should be rallying against anyone being fired for a BLM hat.

The hypocrisy on both sides blows my mind. You either agree with free enterprise or believe free speech reaches beyond the purview of government and private employers should also be subject to such. This should never be conditioned upon the political view expressed.

Let me be VERY clear this is not a statement on any government mandates, OSHA standards, or any influence outside the natural market. Again, this is about a dual hypocrisy which is what kills both sides credibility.

“When a lot of us started working at Whole Foods back in the day, it was a place where you could wholly be yourself and express your personality while still working your job,” one employee said at the time.

Yeah, but that was back when Ward Cleaver would still sit in his easy chair, wearing a tie and cardigan, while smoking his pipe.

Times have changed.

Regards,

“When a lot of us started working at Whole Foods back in the day, it was a place where you could wholly be yourself”

Oh, please. That was almost certainly never true. If “wholly being yourself” meant showing up at work drunk or having a Hitler tattoo or smoking hash at the checkout stand, I’m guessing that even the wonderful “old” Whole Foods drew some lines...
