Grocery Store Workers Due to Strike by Sunday -UFCW Local 135
ufcw135.orgThe negotiations, now in their eighth month, have dragged on as management refuses to pay their fair share of health care contributions. Current health care proposals would bankrupt health plans and eliminate entirely health care access for 62,000 grocery workers across Southern California.
“I work hard for my company,” said Kelly Pierce. “They are making money hand over fist. We just want them to share a little of those billions with us so we can pay our rent and take our kids to the doctor. It isn’t asking so much, there is enough for everyone. Why are they being so greedy?”
Me: “Where can I find frozen fruit?”
Grocery store employee: “We don’t have that.”
Me: “You don’t have fruit that’s frozen in bags?”
Grocery store employee: “Oh, you mean toppings.”
And he was right. At the Los Feliz Albertson’s, the frozen fruit really is stored in a case labeled “toppings.” I feel that pretty much stands on its own, in terms of awful things, but I have some thoughts on this sad fact here.
You mean no more overpriced groceries! O NO!
pe.comReally Albertsons? Although i have no idea what the demands are… lol. They could be reasonable or horribly unfeasible…
