Incredible!!

👏👏👏👏

spek-music.bsky.social•26 days ago

and even before bezos bought them, the original owners of Whole Foods were anti-worker republican assholes

fldsofgld.bsky.social•26 days ago

How did I miss Whole Foods was owned by Bezos?? Go Wegmans!!

edschechter.bsky.social•26 days ago

What are the odds of that store being open in a month?

financecharg.bsky.social•26 days ago

This country was built on unionized labor.

Let’s go!

cailis.bsky.social•26 days ago

I betcha they'll close the store now for *renovations* or *training* like starbx did in Buffalo

richardsaundersbu.bsky.social•25 days ago

Great news. It would be the only "Whole Paycheck" I'd shop at, but it is 2,000 miles away.

vegematic.bsky.social•26 days ago

Closing down stores to avoid unionization is an old tactic started by Wal-Mart in Quebec. This is why unionization must be globalized & coordinated. They couldn't shut down every store in the chain if votes were coordinated across state & national borders.

jefffry.bsky.social•26 days ago

They'll shut it the store down saying there was too much customer theft at the store.

nikki3877.bsky.social•26 days ago

👏👏👏👏👏👏😘😘😘😘😘😘

roldou.bsky.social•26 days ago

They waste produce unless it's perfect

foughtforfreedom.bsky.social•26 days ago

Pretty soon, any produce will be accepted.

bruingirldata.bsky.social•26 days ago

Good for them! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

wroper49.bsky.social•26 days ago

Sure, Bezos will be shutting down this location post haste.

kittiesrules.bsky.social•26 days ago

Bezos will close them down like he did with the Amazon warehouses in Quebec

grammak082u.bsky.social•26 days ago

👍👍👍👏

wendyweidman.bsky.social•26 days ago

Dammit, now you’re going to make me cheer for Philly.

barbtries.bsky.social•26 days ago

one of my favorite cities!

wendyweidman.bsky.social•26 days ago

Problem is that I am a diehard Pittsburgh Penguins fan. But, I do have a secret love in my heart for Gritty

adelaney.bsky.social•26 days ago

Follow suit. He hates this so much.

captivejinn.bsky.social•26 days ago

Go unions!

helenangel.bsky.social•26 days ago

Excellent! Good on them!!

bobo3f1.bsky.social•26 days ago

unionization can lead to increased costs and reduced flexibility, potentially harming the very workers it's meant to help, as well as the community that relies on the store.

zscottyg.bsky.social•26 days ago

👆 Reply bot. Report and block.

breaddrink.bsky.social•26 days ago

Eventually, yes.

The unions themselves grow out of proportion and lose sight/fall prey to corruption.

But so does everything. They serve their intended use well at first.

eastcoastlost.bsky.social•26 days ago

Classic class traitor words.

kevinrobinoneill.bsky.social•26 days ago

Won't shop there and trying my hardest to stay away from anything thru Amazon. No Prime TV either. I will happily survive without anything Bezos ownes. And I will never ride on his penis 🚀

factsorfables4u.bsky.social•26 days ago

Oh oh. That'll get them closed down. Quebec Amazon workers tried to unionize at ONE location & Bezos is closing ALL 7 warehouses out of Quebec. Impacts 1,700-1,900 people.

catmommie.bsky.social•26 days ago

oh that’s whynn no i don’t shop there

madatu.bsky.social•26 days ago

Fingers crossed they are not closed tomorrow, and forever like he did to the 7 Amazon warehouses in Quebec.

beachbums79.bsky.social•26 days ago

Bezos will close that location. Not sure how you hurt a pos worth 200 BILLION dollars. I mean I'm for it, just don't see a good outcome.

generalstrikeus.bsky.social•26 days ago

This is fantastic!

cienanos.bsky.social•26 days ago

Philly yo!

martinauger.bsky.social•26 days ago

That fucker just closed 7 warehouses in Québec (Canada). Oh did I mention one of them had just joined a union ?

gigithebluesky.bsky.social•25 days ago

@bolucky3.bsky.social - read comments here. You might be surprised.

bolucky3.bsky.social•25 days ago

Love the 💙🦋 so positive and supportive system!

gigithebluesky.bsky.social•25 days ago

Now you see why I encourage FBers to flock over here on the BlueSky.

gigithebluesky.bsky.social•25 days ago

Oh yes I totally agree with you :)

gigithebluesky.bsky.social•26 days ago

Really? Wow!

martinauger.bsky.social•26 days ago

1500 direct jobs and 1500 subcontractors

gigithebluesky.bsky.social•26 days ago

Unfortunately, Bezos and Oligarchs do not care about anyone but 3 things - power, control, and money.

Very frustrating.

democratcats.bsky.social•26 days ago

Oh hell yes!

vickisea2.bsky.social•26 days ago

Bozo will probably close the store down. just like when they unionized in Canada.

frankbishop.bsky.social•26 days ago

Oh no, now they will have to respect their loyal workers, pay fair wages, improve working conditions a smidge and still laugh all the way to the bank with tremendous profits. Where’s the violins?!

spacelord20999.bsky.social•26 days ago

👎not such a great thing if it’s owned by a horrible person👎

mickthecanuck.bsky.social•26 days ago

Billionaires should not exist.
Think of all the money they would gladly give to charities if greed was a capital crime.
If their net worth was one dollar over, it's off to the camp and into the showers. That would curb their greed.
It's pitchfork and sickle time!
The oligarchs gotta go!

joannl.bsky.social•26 days ago

He shut down Amazon in Quebec after one warehouse voted to unionize...

glendaaus.bsky.social•26 days ago

Was about to say that. It will interesting to see how quickly he shuts this down.

tunggau.bsky.social•26 days ago

Way to go! This is the way - organize and remind the rich that they are only rich as long as we allow it.

armyvet91.bsky.social•26 days ago

Unfortunately it will be shut down in six months.

jerseydude282.bsky.social•26 days ago

It's a Philly thing!

gamesafoot.bsky.social•26 days ago

Whole Foods isn't the same since Amazon bought it. Fewer employees, demoralized employees, fewer choices

joybells12.bsky.social•26 days ago

Excellent! Slap in the face to Bezos.

pawmck.bsky.social•26 days ago

Good

bigfishstone.bsky.social•26 days ago

Amazon bailed out of Quebec, canned 1600 jobs, because distribution workers there unionized. Good luck to Whole Foods!

spedassist.bsky.social•26 days ago

Closed 7, not 1 but 7 warehouses but said the unionization was not a reason for closing them.

jlm1981.bsky.social•26 days ago

Liars.

spedassist.bsky.social•26 days ago

You call me a liar or Amazon?

jlm1981.bsky.social•26 days ago

I wouldn't trust Amazon.

bigfishstone.bsky.social•26 days ago

Who? Us or Amazon?

jlm1981.bsky.social•26 days ago

I wouldn't trust Amazon.

jlm1981.bsky.social•26 days ago

Let me clarify, Amazon is lying of course. Sorry I wasn't clear. We need an edit function.

katinthesoup.bsky.social•26 days ago

That’s awesome! I hope this success spreads to other Whole Foods!

chibebe5.bsky.social•26 days ago

We're gonna hit him where it hurts

dkdunk.bsky.social•26 days ago

Come on Santa Fe!!!

foggthat.bsky.social•26 days ago

The same Jeff Bezos who dug up Michael Jackson and married him?

jlm1981.bsky.social•26 days ago

Watch to see if corporate tries to close the location. That's part of their playbook to try to keep organizing from spreading.

I hope the workers succeed!!

harshedmellow.bsky.social•25 days ago

That is awesome!

chris4free.bsky.social•26 days ago

Go Philadelphia

lule777.bsky.social•26 days ago

Good luck with that

See, everyone? No matter what Trump and his radical right ideologues do, if folks organize, good things can happen!

That’s the spirit!
