Amazon.com’s Whole Foods Market doesn’t want to be forced to let workers wear “Black Lives Matter” masks and is pointing to the recent US Supreme Court ruling permitting a business owner to refuse services to same-sex couples to get federal regulators to back off.

National Labor Relations Board prosecutors have accused the grocer of stifling worker rights by banning staff from wearing BLM masks or pins on the job. The company countered in a filing that its own rights are being violated if it’s forced to allow BLM slogans to be worn with Whole Foods uniforms.

Amazon is the most prominent company to use the high court’s June ruling that a Christian web designer was free to refuse to design sites for gay weddings, saying the case “provides a clear roadmap” to throw out the NLRB’s complaint.

The dispute is one of several in which labor board officials are considering what counts as legally-protected, work-related communication and activism on the job.

Lots of places ban attire or even the direction you wear your hat already and that extends to customers so it doesn't seem all that odd to ban something affiliated with mass arson.

Do you have any friends? You know like actual friends you can rely on and won't drift apart from as soon as you stop giving them something?

All you crackers really showed your colors today.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The colors of supporting black people and hating cops? You know just insisting something completely irrational doesn't work very well unless you have the entirely of lib-shit reddit to help you downvote. Here you're going to have to at least try to make a coherent point or continue to be dunked on.

Death to America

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Yeah, we should ban workers from being able to wear the American flag (see: Napalm, Vietnam War Atrocities)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow, now this is one hell of a shit hot take.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

How so, I live in the ghetto, they burned a ton of shit down and most bars and restaurants ban backwards hats just as a starter. We also know they stole a ton of money to buy mansions.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's only online white people that think BLM is some righteous thing. They probably haven't ever been to a bar where the attire bans colors, they go to the ones that ban poor people.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We also know they stole a ton of money to buy mansions.

Who is they? Where are those mansions?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So they bought one mansion with donated money legally and then had a private birthday party in it? I'm guessing it wasn't your money they used lol.

If the IRS finds that wasn't proper, by all means, go after them, like any tax cheat.

That doesn't invalidate the cause. Otherwise, you'd have to claim the same about preventing kids cancer, after the Trumps used that donated money for their private funds.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh just one mansion to have a birthday party, totally for the cause lol, lol, lol. OMG these white people are so stupid.

No point in talking to you if you can't even understand the article you yourself posted.
