Stephan: Ronlyn and I stopped shopping at Whole Foods five years ago, when it was revealed that they were not treating their workers well, and were doing some dodgy things about GMOs. The recent comments by their CEO, John Mackey, about healthcare added to this just confirm our contempt for this company.
In addition to boycotting Whole Foods, UNFI's Woodstock Foods, and Blue Marble products, I encourage you to:
Please click through and sign the online petition in support of the striking workers at UNFI.
Call UNFI Manager Hank Heatherly at (253) 333-6769. Tell him to rehire the fired workers and return to the bargaining table immediately.
You may know that Whole Foods has been caught union-busting, but did you also know that the largest wholesale distributor of organics is under investigation for 45 violations of federal labor law?
‘The union is like having herpes. It doesn’t kill you, but it’s unpleasant and inconvenient, and it stops a lot of people from becoming your lover.
