My Whole Foods nightmare: How a full-time job there left me in poverty - Salon.com

(I can't see how the title matches the article at all. But the article is worth reading; it's about Whole Foods workers in CA organizing with the IWW.)

"Organizing with the radical-syndicalist union, the Industrial Workers of the World, Whole Foods employees are shunning traditional unions that represent the majority of workers at Safeway, Alberson’s and other national grocers. In doing so, they have given up access to the deep pockets of United Grocery Workers and the like, but have the added agility to stealthily maneuver. The IWW is also the only union to have successfully created union shops at Starbucks."
