Backstory, 31k grocery workers went on strike, citing increasing Insurance costs as one of the major reasons. Just three days they freak out that they can’t pay rent. Maybe they could ask their union bosses who make 6 figures off their union dies to help a fellow “union sister” out, right?

Silly question, but why are the names blocked out?

Fakebook is public, right?

What sane hiring manager would employ a striking retail employee looking for another retail job? The know that 1)this person is pro-union and 2) will probably no-call-no-show the second the strike is settled.

I read they wanted the employees to pay an extra $5 or $10 a Week for their Health Insurance.

Obamacare cost us at least $50,000 (so far). I’m not getting any sympathy from the Unions.

IIRC, it was $3-5/week increase and they haven’t had ANY increase in the last 3, possibly 6 years.

I think that is the main complaint.

Do these strikers know that by leaving their union, as a recent SCOTUS decision allows, they could not only make back that five bucks but keep even more of their own money?

For me, the supermarket was a nice teenage job for me while I was in high school. I shagged some carriages, bagged some groceries and even stocked some shelves.

It never crossed my mind that this was a "career" job. Just a job for some kid to get a foot in the door in the working world and some pocket money while going to school. Anybody making a career in a supermarket was either going into management or learning a trade (like butcher).

I would have cashiered as well but back then, only girls were expected to do it. In fact, that was all girls ever did in a supermarket back then and the reason given was that they were "more honest and trustworthy" than the boys and thus could be trusted with handling money.

These were the 1970s - back when you could say things like that and not get hit with lawsuits and bad publicity.

I remember one boy (very effeminate) wanted to cashier and management was in a pickle with regard to what he should wear as they were very uptight with their dress codes at the time. At the time, the girls at the registers all wore pink jackets and the boys (doing everything else) wore blue jackets. Management wore deep red jackets. It must have been considered unthinkable to have a "blue jacket" running a register so the one boy was issued a managers red jacket to cashier with. Though I think the kid would have happily worn pink if he was allowed.
