It has been revealed that many of Whole Foods' overpriced products are cultivated by inmates in U.S. prisons who earn a pittance for their labor. We want them to become an industry leader in giving back to ex-felons by providing fair employment opportunities around the country. Even better, provide upper-level jobs to felons that have worked on their products, once released. Enough is enough with the exploitation and oppression of prisoners in this country and the unjust lack of employment opportunities upon release.
Why is this important?
Learning that Whole Foods used prison labor for its products has been a major turn off for my family and friends. Consumers are continuously reminded of institutionalized greed in corporate America. We want Whole Foods to be a fair and responsible enterprise, for them to give back!! Ex-felons struggle to find jobs when released, by hiring these people, Whole Foods can start making a wrong, right!
