Grocery workers planning to strike again

[EconProf]

I submit that the grocery clerks’ union today is equivalent to the United Auto Workers of five years ago. And the WalMarts, Fresh & Easys, Sprouts, and Trader Joe’s are equivalent to the foreign-owned auto factories in the midwest and south. If this analogy is correct, any strike will cripple the union and the unionized chain stores, and benefit the non-union stores.
We all know that the UAW has vastly fewer members now, who make considerably less in overall compensation, and have lost market share to the nonunion states and foreign automakers (who took no bailout money, unlike GM and Chrysler), while consumers benefited.
Bring on the strike.

The whole argument is over health care benefits. It’s going to be hard to get public support when most of the country is getting hosed with reduced benefits.

I’m sure it is different now, but when I was young I worked for a time at a grocery store. My mom worked at a hospital and she had to pay more for medical coverage than I did for collecting carts and bagging. I always found that odd.

I don’t want to beat a dead horse, raise your hand if you are ready for national health care, like every other 1st world country. Actually that wont help, Europe has way more strikes than we do, so if it’s not this, it will be something else.

I’ve never been loyal to one super market. I go the cheapest super market for the items I need. So I have no issue crossing the picket lines. I didn’t change my shopping habits during the last strike and I won’t change it if they have another strike.

Tonight I picked up 8 pieces of chicken,1 lb. of macaroni salad, 1 lb. of waldorf salad, 4 Kings Hawaiian rolls and a 2liter bottle of Dr.Pepper for $7.99 + tax. not a bad deal. I wonder if Albertson’s will still have that deal during the strike?
