2024. (10 mins). Read the Video YouTube Comments. - More Perfect Union, https://perfectunion.us/

Whole Food workers say they're surveilled, tracked to the minute and have to work two jobs to survive. Amazon bought the grocery chain in 2017. Now it's like "walking around in the corpse of what used to be." - So workers are organizing to form the first Whole Foods union.

1. How does management find time for an open-door policy?

Seems counterproductive to all the focus on metrics.

4. Yes, with so much pressure on speed and time how are mgrs and workers able to communicate.

3. I was IT contractor with Whole Foods after Amazon acquisition longtime WF employees were leaving because of Amazon CIO

People who had worked there 15 yrs were leaving. We had a spreadsheet with the leaving dates of all the fulltime employees who were leaving. Almost all of their employees were leaving.

7. So much for customer service!

People are willing to pay more for quality, but knowledgeable and helpful staff makes a big difference. Running WF like an Amazon warehouse just doesn't make sense.

I don't shop there any more.

8. Plus one. Bernie has been right for many decades. They called him a radical, liberal ..........

9. As far back as I can remember grocery stores hired an excessive amount of part-timers so that

the company wouldn't have to pay benefits. This is not slavery but there are similarities.
