Liberation photo: Jason Tschantre Activists in Detroit rallied in front of the Whole Foods store in Midtown on March 6 in support of Amazon workers in Bessemer, Ala. Those workers are currently voting on whether to form the first Amazon workers’ union in the United States. Protesters formed a picket line at the store’s main entrance, blocking the entry of dozens of cars to the Whole Foods parking lot and facing down a half dozen police squad cars. In addition to their support for the Alabama Amazon workers, the protesters called attention to unsafe working conditions inside Detroit Whole Foods. In late February, 24 workers contracted COVID-19.
