U.S. labor board prosecutors have alleged that Amazon-owned Whole Foods Market illegally banned employees from wearing “Black Lives Matter” masks and punished workers who did, according to Bloomberg.
The grocery store chain maintained appearance rules at U.S. locations to prohibit staff from displaying Black Lives Matter messages on their apparel, the National Labor Relations Board’s San Francisco regional director wrote in a complaint issued Friday on behalf of the agency’s general counsel.
The company is also accused of firing, sending home and otherwise punishing employees around the country during 2020 for wearing apparel such as BLM masks or pins, according to the suit.
