Whole Foods CEO's Efforts to Undermine Obama Health Care Reform Draws Widespread Condemnation
WASHINGTON - (BUSINESS WIRE) - 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.
The UFCW will be in front of the Whole Foods in Washington, DC, at
1440 P Street, NW, and the 833 Wayne Avenue store in Silver Spring,
M.D., from approximately 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Friday, August 21,
