Whole Foods cuts worker hours when Amazon increases minimum wage

I discussed this in my recent paper, how the 'conscious capitalism' of Whole Foods would fall prey to Amazon's degenerate capitalism, thereby undermining its own proclaimed conscious upgrading of a defunct system.

"In response to public pressure and increasing scrutiny over the pay of its warehouse workers, Amazon enacted a $15 minimum wage for all its employees on 1 November, including workers at grocery chain Whole Foods, which it purchased in 2017. [...] But since the wage increase, Whole Food employees have told the Guardian that they have experienced widespread cuts that have reduced schedule shifts across many stores, often negating wage gains for employees."
