Stand With Trader Joe's Workers!
sign.moveon.org
Trader Joe's is a company that carefully cultivates a progressive reputation. But over the past few years, we have seen the company culture shift from a workplace with incredible pay, benefits, and atmosphere, to a company with increasing turnover, declining benefits, and stagnating wages. The pandemic put those changes into stark relief as “essential” workers everywhere were asked to risk their health in order to keep the economy going. These two factors—the company’s internal changes...

    Doesn’t this sorta destroy their whole image they worked so hard to promote and build their entire company around?

    Huh.

      Yep. They billed themselves and chill and employee focused. Hence the “relaxed” dress codes and atmosphere. Turns out, they’re just another corporate pig hiding behind some cheap makeup.

      We don’t shop there a ton cause it’s a bit of a drive. Any Trader Joe’s we have been to has awesome customer service and I like their selection.

      Sucks to hear this. I’ll never go there again.

      You think the liberals that flock to that store give a shit?

      Whole Foods is run by a hard-core conservative, and that hasn’t stopped the Left from throwing money at that company.

      What about Apple and its long time track record of employing near-slave labor in China?

      As with almost all topics, most liberals will almost never inconvenience themselves for the same causes they supposedly promote. This is why stuff like “green-washing” is so prevalent - people just want to see some happy-happy-joy-joy images that something is being done, rather than lift a finger to actually do anything. While the Right takes the methodical approach of advancing their cause over years and decades, the Left can’t be bothered to focus on anything for more than a few days before they jump to the next hot topic.

            ‘liberals’ isnt ambiguous slang. equating ‘the left’ with liberals is just being stupid.

              Without a qualifier, I find it’s used in a negative way to ”fill in the blank" with whatever an OC’s target demographic is IMO… generally any hopes of having a rational conversation with OC may as well be be flushed down the toilet after observing that kind of usage

              As a sidenote, in a political context I don’t think it captures someone’s alignment in a universally understandable way. Different people with different perspectives interpret the literal phrasing “liberals” from their own POV.

              equating ‘the left’ with liberals is just being stupid.

              I agree.
