VICTORY: Whole Foods Reverses English-Only Policy

By . Friday, June 14 2013

Whole Foods suspended two Albuquerque employees for complaining after they were told they weren’t allowed to speak Spanish at work. So Pat Davis of ProgressNow New Mexico created a MoveOn Petition demanding that the company change its discriminatory English-only policy.

Within a week, MoveOn members delivered the petitions’15,000 signatures to Whole Foods’ headquarters in Austin, Texas, and Whole Foods co-CEO Walter Robb posted a statement apologizing for the ill-conceived policy and announced that it had been reversed.

This post was produced and paid for by MoveOn Civic Action.
