Former Whole Foods associates’ BLM facemask suit dismissed
January 24, 2023
Three former Whole Foods employees claimed in a lawsuit that they were discriminated against when the grocer fired them for refusing to remove the “Black Lives Matter” facemasks that they were wearing on the job. A federal judge yesterday dismissed those charges, ruling that “the evidence demonstrates only that Whole Foods did not strenuously enforce the dress code policy until mid-2020, and that when it increased enforcement, it did so uniformly.”
