Live by the union, die by the union.... Don’t these dolts realize that people could go elsewhere????
Evidently they didn’t learn their lesson from the last California Grocery Worker’s strike.
With few exceptions, most grocery store jobs could be (and are) handled by 16-yo kids...I’d replace the lot of them as soon as they walked.
“...as they would require the mostly part-time employees work more than 10 years to get reach the top pay scale.”
Two thoughts:
1. Who is going to work part-time for 10 years in a Grocery Store to reach the top pay scale unless they really, really feel it is their calling in life to be a Grocer...and if that’s the case, they’d have started their own store a decade ago, and...
2. If it’s a part time job, for fun or profit, or p*ss-poor planning with your finances throughout your life, GRANDPA, who the flip cares?
It’s a ‘Whole New World Order,’ folks. You should hear the TEENS I work with whining about the fact that they’re only making $8 an hour in a job a semi-trained & diapered Chimp could do, LOL!
And I guess since they can’t break the spine of Wal-Mart, the Unions need to go back to Square-One. Again. *SHRUG*
Good New for Trader Joes again! They got us last time the unions striked (struck?) and we never went back.
The majority of women shopping there still looked their usual hot, sexy selves, but the cashiers and the bagboys/girls looked scared to death and were way overly polite to the point of getting smacked if they went too much further.
News vans from KABC and KCAL were camped in the parking lot.
I didn't cross the picket line during the last strike, but, there's no way I'm going to buy fruit and veggies from Jorge on the corner this time.
They have a union for this job? Wow. That’s sad.
