Whole Foods argues it can ban BLM masks because the Supreme Court let a Christian business owner refuse same-sex couples
Amazon is the most prominent company to use the high court’s June ruling that a Christian web designer was free to refuse to design sites for gay weddings.
Amazon.com’s Whole Foods Market doesn’t want to be forced to let workers wear “Black Lives Matter” masks and is pointing to the recent US Supreme Court ruling permitting a business owner to refuse services to same-sex couples to get federal regulators to back off.
National Labor Relations Board prosecutors have accused the grocer of stifling worker rights by banning staff from wearing BLM masks or pins on the job. The company countered in a filing that its own rights are being violated if it’s forced to allow BLM slogans to be worn with Whole Foods uniforms.
Amazon is the most prominent company to use the high court’s June ruling that a Christian web designer was free to refuse to design sites for gay weddings, saying the case “provides a clear roadmap” to throw out the NLRB’s complaint.
The dispute is one of several in which labor board officials are considering what counts as legally-protected, work-related communication and activism on the job.

Time to go to Wegmans, y'all.
HEB baby
We don't have either of those in my area, unfortunately. Trader Joe's is pretty awesome, but even they have some fucky sourcing and, at least at the one here, a really high turnover rate for employees.
Sorry to tell you that Trader Joe’s has adopted an anti-union stance. So, not as awesome anymore.
Figures. I knew something had to be going on with employee treatment. Every time I go in there it's nearly an entire different crew.
I wish there was a Wegmans in my area. In college, the one near me put discount deli food out at 8am. So I'd get a $2 sandwich and a $1 soup (which would have been like $9). I survived off of discount food.
Same. Wegmans fed me through college, and oh did they feed me well.
Wegmans is extremely regional. And when I did live somewhere that had one, I almost never went because it was always massively over crowded.
Fair enough. I guess I should have specified it was for those with one in their area.
