Court Rules in Favor of Whole Foods' Ban on Black Lives Matter Apparel
TL;DR
Whole Foods has won a case regarding its prohibition of employees wearing apparel supporting the Black Lives Matter movement. A federal administrative judge ruled that the grocery chain did not violate labor rights when it disciplined employees for wearing masks, pins, and accessories with the "Black Lives Matter" slogan, stating that it was not connected to their employment or working conditions. The employees have the option to appeal the decision to the labor board. This is the latest ruling in favor of Whole Foods against employees who claimed retaliation for supporting Black Lives Matter.
