To: Dan Bane, CEO Trader Joe's
Trader Joe's discriminates against same-sex couples
Unless Trader Joe's starts providing health benefits for employees' domestic partners, I will shop elsewhere from November 1-15, 2012.
Why is this important?
I miss Trader Joe's. They've got great prices for great food, but what they don't have is health benefits for employees' domestic partners or other "soft" benefits such as bereavement leave. Shocked? Me, too. I believe that all families should be treated equally. Check it out: http://www.hrc.org/apps/buyersguide/profile.php?orgid=13517#.UEv5MIl5mc0
Anti civil-rights sites such as lifesitenews even tout Trader Joe's as a place for "pro-family" shoppers. Not sure which families they mean, as they seem to be against some families I care about! http://www.lifesitenews.com/mobile/blog/the-best-and-worst-places-to-shop-in-2012-if-youre-pro-family
I'm on a budget and I have three small kids and work full time. I miss Trader Joe's. I plan to be missing it until they bring their civil rights into the 21st century.
Sign below to let Dan Bane, the CEO of Trader Joe's, know that you care enough about supporting the human rights of their same-sex employees that you're pledging to skip shopping in their stores November 1-15, 2012 (but feel free to join me and stop now, if you're as shocked as I am.)
