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.
So telling someone not to wear a pin is now racist?
It’s asking people “don’t show that you’re aware of your white privilege and that black people are undeniably still oppressed to this day”
No… It’s asking people to adhere to the policies that existed when they were hired…
You can literally search “whole foods dress code” and find reddit posts of people discussing this YEARS ago.

This is nothing new… It’s a bog standard policy for many places.
LMAO A tankie talking about “boot licking”. That’s hilarious. You worship someone who literally killed my people for no reason… And defend it like it was okay. Talk about boot licking.
So Whole Foods is allowed to pander to the LGBT community by making displays and signage “celebrating” them, but NOOOOO to raising awareness of black injustice.
Got it
Also, they won’t even let you recognize veterans by wearing a poppy
Signage and displays isn’t a violation of dress code… So yes. This is different.
I’m sure if they decided they could make money off of the BLM movement they’d put up signage and displays for it too. But they’re the one’s paying the bills… they get to make up the rules in their establishment.
It’s the very same symbolism that they’re preventing their employees from wearing. It’s hypocrisy and you fucking know it.
Nope. It’s following company policy, because that company hired you and is paying your paycheck to follow their rules and to do the job.
You’re the type of guy who’d defend Amazon making their workers piss in bottles.
Or deny that it happens at all
Not even close to true.
But whatever floats your boat.
Edit: To make it clear. I believe that company’s should follow the law… Including those mandating break times.
Maybe one day, you’ll understand, and give a fuck about people
And maybe one day you’ll get a job… and give a fuck about making a living.
Don’t want to have a dress code? Get a different job that doesn’t have one.
