Amazon training videos coach Whole Foods staff on how to discourage unions

The Guardian obtained internal videos sent to Whole Foods management, coaching them on how to watch for unionizing

Amazon-owned Whole Foods Market has stepped up its efforts to crack down on union activity among employees – instructing managers to watch out for warning signs of union activity and to tell possible union members that joining a union is a “roll of the dice”.

Following a mass email sent out on 6 September by Whole Foods employees seeking to coordinate with one another to discuss workplace issues and the prospect of forming a union, Amazon released training videos for managers in an attempt to head off union efforts.
