Whole Foods workers sue over alleged Black Lives Matter mask ban
New York Post ^ | July 22, 2020 | Noah Manskar

More than a dozen workers sued Whole Foods after the grocery giant allegedly punished some of them for wearing “Black Lives Matter” face masks on the job.

The 14 workers in four states say staffers were sent home without pay, formally disciplined or even fired for donning the masks in solidarity with the nationwide movement against police brutality.

It would be amusing if about 20 people wearing Blue Lives Matter masks entered one of the stores en masse.

GOOD! Welcome to reality. You serve at the pleasure of your employer not the other way around...having said that I fully expect whole foods to cave any minute.

They should simply have been fired.

I wonder how many people actually know what they are standing in solidarity with? I had a knock down drag out with an extended family member this weekend. Led him to their website and everything and he continued to tell me it was not about anything other than black lives being taken by police brutality. Oh, and I’m a racist.
Scary thing is he’s a public school teacher and is completely ignorant about real life.

That’s strange considering Amazon owns Whole Foods and the CEO hates this country.

I’m sure that it is spelled out clearly in the Employee Handbook. They ought to be thankful they didn’t get fired for pulling a stunt like that. Now they are suing? Lol.

BLM is not a nationwide movement against police brutality.

It’s a nationwide movement against all people.

This is one time I am goingto back Amazon who own Whole Foods. Bezos has the money to fight these BLM creeps in court for the next 100 years if that’s what it takes.

The NFL/NBA could have done this. They chose not to. Now they’ve gone down a deep hole that they will never be able to crawl out of.

Most of them are. They live in their own little bubble.

They don’t have any idea what the real world is like.

Not all of course, just most.

If I see one of those masks at a Whole Foods, I’m outta there - AFTER taking a pic of the worker and telling the staff to shove it up their Obamaholes.

Sounds like a planned law suit because they wanted money. I expect there to be many more someone put them up to it thinking it was a good idea.

At least fill up your shopping cart and leave it for them to reshelve before you protest..
