Take Action with Food Workers

Imagine shivering in freezing temperatures for long hours without a bathroom break. This is the reality for workers around the world who produce the food sold at supermarkets like Whole Foods. Support them now.

Despite Whole Foods projecting an image of a trustworthy, sustainable grocer, behind the food on its shelves are thousands of people around the world who face humiliation and verbal abuse, all while working excessive hours for poverty pay.

Worst of all, Whole Foods (and its parent company Amazon) are willfully ignoring the problem.

The supermarket giant is long past due to take responsibility for these violations of worker rights. Ignoring a problem won’t make it go away. Join us and tell Whole Foods you won’t stand for this any longer.
