Whole Foods Workers Unite!
Welcome to the only web site operated by and for Whole Foods workers committed to improving the working conditions for all of us.
*This site is NOT run by or connected to Whole Foods Market. Rather, we are here to counter Whole Foods' attempts at misinforming its workers about what it means to unionize. Our goal is to provide news, information, and resources for everyone concerned about workers' rights.
Many people love the community at Whole Foods – this is what brought us to work here in the first place. But many of us have also seen that as the company has grown, the focus has shifted to profits and expansion at the expense of worker respect and fair compensation.
Despite what Whole Foods says, unionizing is the only way for workers to be guaranteed participation in their employment.
And despite what the company says, unionizing is about making Whole Foods a better place to work, a place in which people enjoy working, are invested in their jobs, have a say in their workplace conditions, and are rewarded and appreciated for the work they do. It's about holding the company accountable for their claims and promises.
Many people like what we read about Whole Foods philosophies and core values, yet we do not see these words being put into practice. We want all employees valued and appreciated for their contributions, and all employees to share in the success of the company.
We want to build positive relationships between all employees at Whole Foods, and believe that by workers uniting together, Whole Foods will be better able to adhere to their philosophy and core values.
Read WFM's philosophy for yourself, and you will see that far from workers' unions being contrary to their philosophy, they fit perfectly. o*nly when workers have a legally-guaranteed voice in their work environment can they truly be happy and excel.
Knowledge is power, and power brings change!
