Look in the frozen section all the Amy's went from 4.49 to 4.99... Oh wait that's not lower... Ok then look in the bread dept all the organic hot dog and hamburger buns went from 3.49 to 4.19.... Oh wait that's not lower either.. Hmmmm I will have to get back to you on that question
where are the lower prices?
yes unions helped detroit and brought many people into the middle class...it was the corporations shipping the jobs elsewhere for cheap labor and making bad cars that did detroit dirty..ever see "roger and me"???detroit had a economy totally based around the automotive industry,no diversity like other big metropolis..cant blame the unions for that...
And Unions helped Detroit, right? Billions of dollars in Union fees, and bammmm.
It's Friday, and I am off this weekend. Shitting while on the clock (and writing this), cannot complain.
google "union membership america and decline of middle class"........especially since reagan...
I'm just doing as little as possible to get buy until the layoff. Working my ass off for years got me no where in this company.
"american-corporatocracy". Just because some disagrees with you they are not trolling.To be anti-union is not to be a troll. It also isn't the same as being okay with what is happening. Unions aren't perfect. There is corruption in unions as well. Maybe they would help Whole Foods, maybe they would not. I personally don't think they would. Unions would not have been able to save the jobs that were lost here. "american-corporatocracy", judging by your name and passion, you want to stand up for what you believe is right.... right? can you tell me how dismissing other people's beliefs and calling them chumps works in your plan for winning people over and showing them Unions are a better way? What do you think of someone on the other side of the debate who actually engages you versus someone saying, "Unions are shitty. People who give the fat cats at Unions their money are morons". Do you have an opinion on who is going to make a greater impact? Do you see where you line up in this equation? You need more than a handle that's a punk rock pun, name calling, and rhetoric to change minds and to make things better. For what it is worth, I am unhappy with what Whole Foods has done. I'm looking for work elsewhere, it is no longer a company I want to work for. I'm not drinking any Kool Aid. I also think Unions have served a great place in our society, I think there are still industries where unions serve a great purpose. I have seen gross failures of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union. I've only, literally, only, heard bad stories of working with Unions from my coworkers. I've yet to see how a union would have changed what happened. Under a union, it is my understanding, these jobs would still have been eliminated. If there is someone pro-Union here who isn't just calling the other side chumps, who can explain how they would have saved jobs, I am very open to hear it.
No, not looking up. Holidays are going to be a mess with less help, customers will be unhappy, workers burned out... injury rate is only going to go up when you have this type of situation. I refuse to go faster it's not my fault WF fired people that worked and is short staffing us by cutting our labor again. Customers you can wait or a just flat out NO I can not do it! I do not have enough time to do it and NO I do not have any help to do it. Surprised you shall be but not in a delightful sort of way and if you don't like it call corporate it was their stupid ass decision. Enjoy the so called lower prices and that technology that WF should of taken care of BEFORE they started down the path of opening up a bunch of new stores.
Values matter! Ya! For the customers! Team member happiness is Non Existant now!!
im wondering who the anti-union trolls are on this web board..chumps who still drink the kool-aid in jonestown? still believe that pipe dream that new store openings means more opportunity?values matter?
The good news is that more and more of us are waking up everyday. The good news is that the path to collective bargaining is becoming clearer and clearer with each passing day.
