Fired Worker Draws Support at P Street Whole Foods

Dozens of supporters turned out last Sunday to demand reinstatement of Julia Flores at the P Street Whole Foods. Flores was fired without notice, after working for fifteen years at the store.  An advocate for workers at Whole Foods, Flores had a pending workers’ compensation claim against the company. Many Languages One Voice (MLOV) and its Committee for Labor Solidarity and Worker Power coordinated the solidarity effort and supporters, including union members from ATU, UFCW as well as community allies like DC Jobs With Justice, on Sunday let shoppers know about the dispute and asked Whole Foods to reinstate Flores. "I love my job, I want my job," said Flores. Find out more here.
