the head of whole foods may be anti-union, but he treats his employees
pretty well. that's his basis for objecting to the unions. let's not make
him out to be some kind of wal-mart weasel.

WHOLE FOODS MARKET
The organic superstore pays for 100% of all its employees¡¦ health insurance
premiums. Whole Foods Market's (WFMI) benefits include medical, dental,
vision, and a ¡§wellness plan,¡¨ which helps cover the costs of qualifying
out-of-pocket health expenses. Life insurance, disability insurance, and a
401(k) are also standard. As an added bonus, workers can apply for credit
union membership and are eligible for paid leave of absence¡Kand all the
organic jelly beans they want for 20% off.
