Click the linkthen click the google 5 year stock chart which shows a declining stock price. Mackey leaves the stock goes up we can do this!
We have done it before and in this economy big companies can’t afford to diss us.
There is nothing the GOP fears more than consumer boycotts. Why there is nothing they like more than money.

As you probably know by now, Whole Foods shoppers tend to be more progressive and politically active, and many were stunned to find Mackey so badly out of synch with their perceived vision of what the store should stand for. Some disgruntled shoppers have even organized a boycott. (Facebook shows more than 30,000 folks have signed up for Boycott Whole Foods, while only 3,000 have joined DO NOT Boycott Whole Foods.) As Huffington Post reports, two unions have now joined the fray on the side of the boycott.

Whole Foods has long combined high prices for consumers with low wages for workers. Alternet reported last May that Whole Foods was acting a lot more like Wal-Mart than your local food co-op. Yes, they support fair trade products and let employees wear nose rings, but Sharon Smith wrote, “Somehow, Mackey has managed to achieve multimillionaire status while his employees’ hourly wages have remained in the $8 to $13 range for two decades. With an annual turnover rate of 25 percent, the vast majority of workers last no more than four years and thus rarely manage to achieve anything approaching seniority and the higher wages that would accompany it. If Whole Foods’ workers are younger than the competitions’, that is the intention.”

The boycott must be starting to bite, because now comes conservative David Frum blogging that he’s going to make sure to shop at Whole Foods on his way home, to show support for John Mackey. Frum also urges Michael Pollan, author of Omnivore’s Dilemma, to organize an anti-boycott of Whole Foods. We have no response from Pollan yet, but in Frum’s antiverse, Pollan should find common ground with him on this issue because supporting sustainable agriculture means supporting higher prices for farmers, and somehow this will result if Whole Foods continues to gouge both consumers and workers alike.

Healthcare reform
Mackey opposes the public health insurance plan being debated in the U.S. Mackey believes a better plan would be allowing consumers to purchase health insurance across state lines and use a combination of health savings accounts and catastrophic insurance, as Whole Foods does.[16] Mackey’s statement that Americans do not have an intrinsic right to healthcare led to calls for a boycott of Whole Foods Market from the Progressive Review and from numerous groups on Facebook.[17]
[edit]Unions
Whole Foods Market is one of only two non-union Fortune 500 companies listed by Forbes among the “25 Best Companies to Work For” in 2005. Mackey ascribes this to his pro-employee philosophy. He supports non-adversarial unions and advocates their legalization in the U.S.
“It’s illegal in the United States for there to be company unions — special unions which are formed and controlled by the employees and managers of the company to represent their interests and collectively bargain on their behalf. These type of unions are legal in many countries such as Japan, but are illegal in the United States. Instead the law requires that all unions be outside unions. I believe this law should be repealed and that company unions should be as legal as any other kind of voluntary association.”[18]
[edit]Environment
An excerpt of Mackey’s frankness was demonstrated in an interview with The New Yorker :
…Mackey told me that he agrees with the book’s assertion that, as he put it, “no scientific consensus exists” regarding the causes of climate change; he added, with a candor you could call bold or reckless, that it would be a pity to allow “hysteria about global warming” to cause us “to raise taxes and increase regulation, and in turn lower our standard of living and lead to an increase in poverty.” [19]
[edit]Yahoo! Finance postings

On July 20, 2007, The Wall Street Journal[20] revealed that Mackey was, for at least seven years, using the pseudonym “Rahodeb” (an anagram of his wife’s name, Deborah) to post to Yahoo Finance forums. He referred to himself in the third person and criticized rival supermarket chain Wild Oats Markets.[21] The Federal Trade Commission[22] approved a complaint challenging Whole Foods Market’s approximately $670 million acquisition of its chief rival, Wild Oats Markets, Inc. It authorized the FTC staff to seek a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction in federal district court to halt the deal, pending an administrative trial on the merits. After an extensive regulatory battle with the FTC, a federal appeals court consented to the deal. Whole Foods officially completed their buyout of Wild Oats on August 27, 2007.
In May 2008, after an SEC investigation cleared him, Mackey started blogging again. In a 2,037 word post, he wrote about why he began blogging in the first place and how his upbringing drove him to defend himself and Whole Foods. He admitted he made a mistake in judgment, but not in ethics.[23]
[edit]Resignation as Whole Foods Chairman

On December 24, 2009, Mackey resigned from Chairman of the Board of Whole Foods Market. On his blog he cites that “John Elstrott will now take the title of Chairman of the Board, which will accurately reflect the authority and the responsibilities that he has had for many years.”[2
