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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

Ah yes, we’ve ran out of meaningful arguments for our beliefs so we’re going to resort to ad hominem.
Nothing about this has anything to do with morals… but you go ahead and keep preaching. I’m sure other people out there will listen. Just like I’m sure other companies don’t care about wearing a BLM mask and pin, these people can work at those companies.

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.

It’s not a right. Wearing a fucking pin means nothing and grants nobody freedom.
Further…
I’m in this class as an ex-army veteran… Don’t wear a poppy for us in the USA. It means nothing here.
