<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, today (Saturday), 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 <a href="tel:617%20492-5500" value="+16174925500" target="_blank">617 492-5500</a> and tell them to re-hire Ryan & raise employees' pay! Please consider shopping somewhere else until Ryan is reinstated. </span></div>
