Grocery workers planning to strike again

[quote=CA renter]We do shop at union stores, as well as non-union stores (Henry’s and Jimbo’s for better/organic produce and for quick shops). Our big shopping trips tend to be at the union stores.[/quote]
OK, so you did go back. I guess only JP said she didn’t.

Yeah. This is where it hurts the workers and the chain. Once you get into a certain shopping pattern, then it’s hard to go back to where you initially shopped. We do still go to Ralphs, but not as often as before, I admit.

As big coupon-clipping comparison shoppers, my wife and I have learned to largely ignor the unionized chains like Von’s, Ralphs, and Albertson’s, and gravitated toward the Trader Joe’s, Fresh & Easy’s, and WalMart. The price differences are huge.
Again, I’d put the unionized stores into the same category as the UAW-dominated automakers compared to the nonunionized foreign-owned US auto plants over recent decades. We all know how that worked out for the shrunken UAW and their shrunken companies, and to the benefit of the non-unionized companies, the states they located in, and the consumer. Union work rules, pay scales, fringe benefits, and seniority rules are a burden on the employer that must be passed on to the consumer (or taxpayer, in the case of public employees).
Accordingly, consumers will vote with their feet and we should see a continuation of the shift toward nonunion stores. Consumer sovereignty still rules, thankfully.

Can you go on strike and then claim unemployment benefits? If you can, then isn’t it unfair to the others who are paying into unemployment insurance system?
