The federal lawsuit says the firm discriminated against black staff by selectively enforcing its dress code. The lawsuit says more than 40 Whole Foods employees at locations across the country have been punished for wearing the Black Lives Matter masks, which became popular amid the outcry over George Floyd's death at the hands of police.

The complaint asks the court to strike down Whole Foods' policy and bar the company from taking further action or retaliating against the workers. It also seeks back-pay for workers sent home for wearing the masks,The lawsuit was filed by 14 employees as a class action suit on behalf of all Whole Foods staff. One of the workers claims she was fired for organising mask wearing and leading protests against the company's response.

And YET another tweet from the BBC stirring the racist pot. The UK is the least racist and most tolerant country in Europe. The BBC is the most despised National Broadcaster DefundtheBBC

BBC should stop this political propaganda or be defunded. DefundBBC DefundTheBBC

It is time these BLM idiots shut up and got on with their lives.

BLM are using scare tactics and threats trying to dictate political power not only ignoring civil/criminal laws but now health and safety and employment contracts and company policies. This is not an anti racism movement it is a Anarchic Politically motivated organisation.

They broke CONTRACTUAL dress code to push a POLITICAL PARTY that 4 some reason does not hv it's policies, aims & methods published or covered by media. Nothing 2 see here.

Can someone elaborate more of the headline? Is amazon against the BLM movements or silencing workers?

Sounds like a income pay matter...
