Whole Foods accused of cheating workers out of bonuses in class-action lawsuit

One current and one former employee of a D.C. Whole Foods store filed a federal class-action lawsuit Tuesday against the grocery chain, alleging that the company cheated them out of bonuses. Last week, Whole Foods said that nine managers at stores in Maryland, Virginia and the District were fired for gaming the chain’s “gainsharing” program , which awards bonuses to employees whose departments come in under budget.
