Amazon.comās Whole Foods Market doesnāt want to be forced to let workers wear āBlack Lives Matterā 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 itās forced to allow BLM slogans to be worn with Whole Foods uniforms.
Amazon is the most prominent company to use the high courtās June ruling that a Christian web designer was free to refuse to design sites for gay weddings, saying the case āprovides a clear roadmapā to throw out the NLRBās 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.
Itās not a right. Wearing a fucking pin means nothing and grants nobody freedom.
Furtherā¦
Iām in this class as an ex-army veteranā¦ Donāt wear a poppy for us in the USA. It means nothing here.

LMFAO. Yeahā¦ alright. You know nothing about this country then. Keep railing on it without knowing anything about it then.
Wearing a pin or paraphernalia accomplishes nothing expect giving the corporate fuckhead that made that paraphernalia money, and makes yourself feel good.
You wearing a poppy doesnāt actually help a veteran. Get over yourself. I donāt find myself lacking help or support nor do I demand acknowledgement.

Yup, more ad hominem. You know that reflects on you right?
I have plenty of things that I like. I also know that thereās a time and place for it. While Iām working isnāt either. Itās just called common decency.

I donāt believe that adhering to a dress policy is societal oppression. Period. But that seems to be way over your head. If you believe that you NEED the ability to wear that stuffā¦ get a job that allows it. Itās as simple as that. Itās the ultimate freedom.

Then donāt piss off the only employer in your area? Thatās not Whole Foods [or anyone elses really] problem.
No. The policy is NO branding other than whole foods. This isnāt targeted at anyone in particular. If you believe that whole foods is treating you poorly then you leave the job. Thatās it.
Youāre so up your own that you didnāt even stop to realize that I might be part of those groups myself the funny part is my group was treated worse for literally hundreds of years longer but you do you. Youāre making assumptions without realizing that this has nothing to do with any of what your talking about. Itās literally just a bog standard basic dress code, not an anti-BLM plot.
