When your employees picket until stock in the store is down 90% and none of the suppliers can send their goods and crops to the store, well ... you cannot afford employees anymore.

I find it amazing this boycott is having such an effect. Driving by any Market Basket shows empty parking lots.

If only they (customers and employeees) would protest government policies taking money out of their pockets with the same enthusiasm.

You know what Gov? The business is not run for the employees. The business is run to make a profit. If an employee contributes enough to earn his keep, that is fine, but the company is not going to make itself over to please the employees when so many others want jobs.

I haven't followed this case closely but I heard recently that one of the people responsible for firing the beloved "Arthur T" is the guy who brought Radio Shack to the state of near collapse it's in today.

Maybe the employees of Market Basket have a valid point.

As I’ve been saying since this all began there are cheaper alternatives like Aldi and Price Rite. This proves it!
