Whole Foods is not the business it used to be. Not even close. Any semblance of what that store was when it was privately owned is gone.
spoiler: it's still privately owned
publicly traded is privately owned - buying common stock doesn't give the public, most of whom are too poor to afford said stock, meaningful control over the business. the stock owning class have interests that directly contradict those of workers (ie the vast, vast majority of us).
