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.
Shut up, liar. Quit slandering people.
Still waiting for you to tell me how stating black lives matter is a divisive political statement…
I’ll spell it out for you:
It suggests that it needs to be said because there are lots of people who don’t know it. However, everybody knows black lives matter, and it’s an implication that everybody who doesn’t adopt your race ideology is a racist. In reality, those who do are actually racists in denial and are projecting. I and a lot of other people feel this way.
Then, there are the people who subscribe to your ideology, who think that white people are racist and need to be told to stop being racist, and there are a fair number of people who believe that.
So, there are a lot of people who think one thing, and a lot of people who think another thing. Shouting your shibboleths in the street that declares your difference highlights the division that exists in society. That is what we call “divisive.”
Oh, and since this is the first time I see you in this thread, I must say I’m sorry I wasn’t able to divine that you were waiting for an explanation.
Highlighting the divisions in our society make you feel uncomfortable, your poor thing. The systemic racist institutions in this nation are actively killing folks of color. And seeing someone profess the statement Black Lives Matter brining it to your attention ruins your wittle day. Poor wittle baby
Nonsense.
When will you people realize that the reason people oppose this crap isn’t because they support “systemic racism” or something. It’s because they roll their eyes at such ridiculous claim. Especially when such claims are used to justify outright racism against other races
