Been a while since I got one of your Washington state updates.
Even though I live here, you often find state news I have not heard about.
By the way, for those who don't know, Washington state also has a very IMMEDIATE food problem!
Most of our major grocery chains are unionized, and a strike has been called for TODAY at 7PM.
The Teamsters have agreed to not cross the picket lines.
They will drive their trucks to the stores, but park in the street.
Non-union drivers will have to back into the loading docks and non-union labor will have to unload the trucks.
Looks like I'll be eating all those canned goods I stored away for the long delayed Seattle EARTHQUAKE!
Some of the local chains are non-union.
Haggen Foods (formerly Tops) is non-union.
If you have a Winco foods near you, they should be unaffected.
There are a couple others.
I was told that this initiative began with an out of state group. If true, that is curious to me. My suspicions would be that they picked WA because of the liberal control they can muster here and because the marijuana initiative went through easily and was quickly refined and followed through by Olympia.
