		Indeed, Whole Foods stretched and broke labor laws to fight the union, and relied on the lawthat allows workers to decertify the union if a contract is not reached within a year of the union being certified.
		Unfortunately, none of them has even made it to an election; Whole Foods promptly initiated a company-wide misinformation campaign, which included lying to workers about what happened in Madison, misinforming them of what it means to unionize, misrepresenting the situation to the public, and requiring managers to go through anti-union education training.
		Whole Foods has also increased the level of aggressiveness of union-busting tactics, even hiring armed guards as part of their campaign against workers trying to organize in Tyson’s Corner, West Virginia.

	The dark secrets of Whole Foods By Field Maloney
		Whole Foods knows this well, and so the line about the "small family farmers that make up a large percentage of organic food producers" is sneaky.
