Union Buzz
Hearing Unions are active in NYC, Brooklyn and the Island. Memberships are down and COVID hurt their membership dues. Perfect timing to move in with COVID bonus gone and staffing issues in most stores. That would be a big win for the Unions!!
Grace period "abuse".
At my store they recently implemented a new rule that the 7 minute grace period can only be used once a week. Anything after that will result in a tm receiving a quarter point for attendance, even if it is 1 minute past your scheduled start time... — read more

Anyone else’s store hiring tons of shoppers but no Team members for the departments? My store gets destroyed by Prime and not enough help to fill up the aisles. When will someone recognize that we need a balance. So sick of hearing the word headcount... — read more
Bone us!
Thanks for the bonus that was paid for by hiring freezes and dunking on TM morale. Also, good call, giving $1000, to store leadership. They definitely deserve it more than workers on the floor.

Whole Foods Health Insurance

Why was our hazard pay taken away??? We are still wearing masks and having our temperatures taken. This isn't right. Something must be done!
Cleaning house?
One of our astl’s was asked to step out while store leadership cleaned house so she wouldn’t be involved. Guess what? You involved too many people so for them to shut up 100% ? Not realistic. Never bring a friend of a friend. Stl will over look... — read more
One thing this virus has revealed
