Whole Foods Workers Ask Amazon to Cut Ties With ICE-Aligned Palantir | Eater
"Employees and former staffers at the supermarket chain have escalated public opposition to the parent company’s business ties to Palantir and its sale of facial‑recognition technology, arguing these services enable deportations and law‑enforcement raids (citing an August raid at a Mississippi food‑processing plant). A group called Whole Worker issued a statement expressing solidarity with undocumented people seeking asylum, noting Palantir’s 2011 involvement in plans to spy on labor organizers, and demanding that the parent company cut all business with Palantir and other firms involved in the oppression of marginalized groups. The statement emphasizes that moral condemnations alone won’t stop collaboration with ICE, calls for workers inside the company to use their leverage, and comes amid growing grocery‑worker unionization efforts and broader protests against policies and billionaires that contribute to border crises." - Jaya Saxena
