Don't cave, Bravo.
Union Joins Whole Foods Boycott
The United Food and Commercial Workers Union and CtW Investment Group (an arm of several other unions) have joined the boycott of Whole Foods. They want CEO John Mackey fired and are pushing for Bravo to drop Whole Foods as a sponsor of "Top Chef."

This is so very stupid.... Unions are just legitimized thugs.
Mackey told the truth...
Wow - a union joins the boycott of a non-union grocery store chain - big surprise. I'll bet they don't even know why they are boycotting the chain.
You guys must be locals! Intellect is in short supply in the Land of Enchantment. As for unions being "legitimized thugs",that is either the mindset of someone in management or a complete idiot, or both.
It's funny how your only argument is that we must be "locals".
As far as intellect being in short supply, read your own post before you call other people stupid, stupid.
Back in 2008, this Whole Foods, CEO John Mackey (how old is this kid?), was caught posting negative comments (trash talk) about a competitor on Yahoo Finance message boards in an effort to push down the stock price. So now I am suppose to take this loser seriously? Please, snore, snore.
It’s funny we hear Republicans say that they do not want “faceless bureaucrats” making medical decisions but they have no problem with “private sector” “faceless bureaucrats” daily declining medical coverage and financially ruining good hard working people (honestly where can they go with a pre-condition). And who says that the “private sector” is always right, do we forget failures like Long-Term Capital, WorldCom, Global Crossing, Enron, Tyco, AIG and Lehman Brothers. Of course the federal government will destroy heathcare by getting involved, Oh but wait, Medicare and Medicaid and our military men and women and the Senate and Congress get the best heathcare in the world, and oh, that’s right, its run by our federal government. I can understand why some may think that the federal government will fail, if you look at the past eight years as a current history, with failures like the financial meltdown and Katrina but the facts is they can and if we support them they will succeed.
How does shouting down to stop the conversation of the healthcare debate at town hall meetings, endears them to anyone. Especially when the organizations that are telling them where to go and what to do and say are Republicans political operatives, not real grassroots. How does shouting someone down or chasing them out like a “lynch mob” advanced the debate, it does not. So I think the American people will see through all of this and know, like the teabagger, the birthers, these lynch mobs types AKA “screamers” are just the same, people who have to resort to these tactics because they have no leadership to articulate what they real want. It’s easy to pickup a bus load of people who hate, and that’s all I been seeing, they hate and can’t debate. Too bad.
I WORK FOR WHOLEFOODS IN NJ AND WE NEED A UNION. THEY CAN FIRE YOU FOR THE STUPIDIEST REASONS WITH NO JUST CAUSE.
