<div dir="ltr"><span>Demand Whole Foods raise workers' wages and reinstate Ryan, a cook recently fired merely for joining co-workers in asking for more pay! Ryan and supporters will <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1052174258166738/" target="_blank">picket</a> the Jamaica Plain WF store at 413 Centre Street, this Saturday 11/14, starting at 4 pm. You're invited!<br> <br>
<b>Background</b>: Whole Foods claims they support "team member happiness," but when 16
so-called team members petitioned for a $1/hr raise in
response to grueling workloads, the company fired the first worker to sign the petition, Ryan! Employees at the JP Whole Foods also sought improvements in working conditions (such as constant intense heat and poor ventilation) that were making some of them sick. Petitioning brought some improvements but also Ryan's termination, meant to intimidate workers from taking group action in the future. You can call Whole Foods' regional office at 617 492-5500 and tell them to re-hire Ryan & raise employees' pay! Please consider shopping somewhere else until Ryan is reinstated. <br><br></span><br></div>
