In response to a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed by Whole Foods’ Chief Executive Officer John Mackey, activists, consumers and labor groups around the country have been organizing in opposition to his efforts to undermine meaningful health care reform.

Over the course of the next few weeks, members and staff from the United Food and Commercial Workers Union (UFCW) will be disseminating educational information to Whole Foods shoppers. The purpose of these efforts will be to set the record straight about health care reform and to raise serious concerns about Whole Foods CEO’s position on this critical issue. These events will be part of a series of regional educational efforts being planned for the coming weeks.

On Tuesday, August 25, 2009, UFCW Local 75 will be in front of the Whole Foods in Cincinnati, Ohio, at 2693 Edmondson Rd., at approximately 5:00 p.m.

For UFCW members, health care reform is a top legislative priority. UFCW members around the country are organizing and mobilizing their communities in support of comprehensive health care reform.

WHO: Local health care activists and labor advocates, led by the United Food and Commercial Workers Union

WHAT: Launch of consumer campaign to educate shoppers about Whole Foods CEO’s efforts to undermine health care reform and President Obama. The UFCW will be providing educational information to Whole Foods shoppers.

WHEN: Tuesday, August 25, 2009, at approximately 5:00 p.m.

For those who like wild rice, Whole Foods has superb pricing in bulk. Like 75% - 80% off.

Mark my words. Home Depot is next. I didn’t catch his title, but, an executive wee-weed Obama on Cavuto this afternoon. Will be added to the boycott list by 8Pm, guaranteed.

For now, I am hitting Whole Foods in an hour.

Went to one here in Denver for the first time and they had a policeman in uniform near the door.

When I went to work for a grocery store here in Ohio many moons ago, I was forced to join it—a condition of accepting the employment.

I remember when stationed in Georgia, all the grocery stores in our little town were union shops. Then Publix (a non-union chain, at least at that time) moved in. There were protests by the UFCW in front of the construction site, especially for the first several months.

I gladly made a point to shop at Publix for the rest of the time I was stationed there, even though it would have been cheaper for me to shop at the Commissary on base.
