Whole Foods really doesn’t want to let its employees wear Black Lives Matter masks in its stores, claiming its constitutional rights would be violated by the masks.

In a Dec. 17 legal filing obtained by Bloomberg that came in response to a complaint from the National Labor Relations Board, the company said it believed the board’s lawyer was trying to “compel” speech by the company in violation of the First Amendment.

Whole Foods also believed that, by requiring it to allow employees to wear the masks, its copyright would be infringed by allowing a “political message” to be displayed alongside its logo. The Amazon company declined to comment on its filing, which came two weeks after the NLRB formally accused the company of illegally banning the masks.

Duh! Do they want all lives matter being worn and the food fights in the aisles? I don’t think so. If you allow one thing, that exclusively affirms only one group of people you have to allow all. “Until BLM, no lives matter.” That’s actually what they say!

Manitowan Then I won't shop at WholeFoods. Simple. Until bigotry ends we must all do our part.

I go there for broccoli. Not a political movement.

radioramin Why doesn’t WholeFoods just supply N95 masks to all employees?
