illegally firing a worker who refused to remove her Black Lives Matter facemaskHer claims were the last that remained in a lawsuit that began as a proposed class action when it was filed in 2020 over a Whole Foods dress code that barred workers from wearing attire related to Black Lives Matter , a racial justice movement. A trial was set for Aug. 19.
The lawsuit stemmed from nationwide racial justice protests that followed the May 2020 killing of George Floyd, a black man, under the knee of a white Minneapolis police officer. Whole Foods cited its dress code, which it said was meant to foster a welcoming, safe and inclusive shopping environment. Kinzer and some other employees resisted, saying the company’s dress code previously went unenforced.
