What does &#x27;pro-employee&#x27; mean in this case? I saw that he advocates a $15&#x2F;hour minimum wage (saying, additionally, that this is not enough). Are there other things that he&#x27;s doing that are pro-employee?<p>(E.g. Is there employee representation on his board?)

A puff piece for Hamdi Ulukaya and Chobani. Nothing of substance here.<p>Though I am curious: Compared to other companies that are considered pro-employee (e.g. Costco), what does Chobani do for employees that&#x27;s so pro-employee? Hamdi may be for a $15&#x2F;he min. wage, but does he pay at least that without laws in place? That would be pro-employee.<p>I haven&#x27;t read anything beyond this article, so if you have any insight, I&#x27;m listening.

Here is a video about him giving stocks to the employees in the company.He&#x27;s got an interesting story as well.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;HyHVLq-KtFo" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;HyHVLq-KtFo</a>

It could end up like Whole Foods. As long as the original owner was around, it was always a highly rated place to work. He even wrote a book about how a business could be profitable if employees, customers and suppliers were respected. Since Mackey sold to Bezos, not so much.
