The NLRB claims that the Whole Foods dress code violates the Constitution.
In July, 2020, a group of employees sued the food chain after being told that wearing Black Lives Matter was not allowed. In October 2020, Whole Foods put in a place a new dress code policy that banned employees from wearing apparel that displayed messages, flags and other logos.
Employees said that the new dress code violated their First Amendment rights, but Whole Foods countered with the argument that forcing the company to allow its employees to wear masks with logos violated the company’s constitutional rights.
