Today my friend got fired from #TraderJoes when he recommended enhanced COVID-safe practices. He’s been working there all through the pandemic, but I guess his labor (and his health) aren’t essential to corporate. Support Crew for a @TraderJoesUnion!
Here is #TraderJoes response to @BenBonnema’s letter. It’s pathetic. Instead of addressing his concerns as an employee they signal out two of his recommendations for keeping employees safe as contrary to the value of the company and fire him. Trader Joe’s is trash.
If you find this behavior upsetting please let them know, and make sure to follow and support @TraderJoesUnion
Thank you to everyone for uplifting this thread! #TraderJoes is trending! If you have the means to support my friend @BenBonnema while he seeks legal counsel and looks for a new job, his @Venmo is Venmo.com/BenBonnema
One of the top aerosol scientists in the world @jljcolorado —who co-authored the letter to Biden that Ben referenced in recommendation to #TraderJoes—tweeted out his support!
The first of what I assume will be many news articles about Ben’s firing! Thank you @Newsweek for bringing attention to his efforts to make #TraderJoes a safer place for their #EssentialWorkers! newsweek.com/trader-joes-fa…
Another scientist from the Biden letter supporting Ben’s plea for increased protections, and calling out her local #TraderJoes
And the former head of @OSHA_DOL, also co-author of the Biden letter, supporting Ben and reminding #TraderJoes that this type of retaliation is illegal.
An article about Ben in the @washingtonpost, quoting the scientists who’ve come out in support of his letter as well as his past *glowing* performance review from @TJoesOfficial. Trigger warning for corporate gaslighting, however. I call BS on #TraderJoes washingtonpost.com/business/2021/…
#TraderJoes trying to cover their own assess. The only “misinformation” circulating is this quote from their PR person. Ben shared the letter he submitted and the termination letter he received, as well as his last performance review. All the information circulating is factual. Image

Shame on @nbc. Y’all sign my checks as of late but I‘m disgusted by my home network giving Trump a platform for fear mongering, bigotry & disinformation. Don’t praise yourselves for putting a trans woman on primetime then give a platform to someone who wants to abolish my rights.
Honestly shame on @ABC and @nbc, this echo chamber of rhetoric is a root problem in America. These days leading up to the election should be about the exchange and comparison of ideas and policy, not ratings and stoking division. @realDonaldTrump & @JoeBiden should #debate.
