There is a great picture on Drudgereport.com showing a striker outside a Von's supermarket. In the background, behind the striker, a sign says "now hiring."

I saved the picture, but do no know how to post it. I know html, but how do you upload pic?

I know I just heard on the 12noon news that the Kroger workers here in the Dayton, OH area are going on a "sympathy strike". (The sympathy not being, of course, for the consumer) Thank heavens Wal-Mart sells milk and eggs.

Fire them all, they need to pay for all their own medical benefits like everyone else. Let them go to county hospital and get in line with the illegal aliens.

We don't need baggers anyway. They don't have them in Europe, as everyone bags their own stuff. Fire the lazy cashiers too. We can scan our own stuff. Fire the stockers too, as we can just pick through the boxes. Sell the shelves.

There lucky to to even have jobs that pay them money.

Look at all the hard working illegal aliens, they don't complain, they could care less about benefits and they work harder, for less money than lazy Americans.

They're all just a bunch whining, freeloading lazy American's. Fire them all.

The lockout is a negotiating tactic--force the union to deplete its strike fund three times faster than planned. The union begged for Albertson's and Ralph's to keep their employees--not a wise tactic, because it told everyone that the UFCW strike fund is not up to the task. Gotta wonder what happened to all the strike fund donations over the years?

If you cross the picket line (like me) make sure you take a flyer from a striker. It has a list of other union stores to avoid.

Clerks in my neck of the woods are very well paid with good benefits, too. If it's the same situation in CA, in this economy, this could easily backfire.

[budhabaier]

Grocery Clerks, Baggers, etc. are unionized? This is crazy. No wonder Walmart is going to bury these companies. I've always thought of these as entry-level, zero-skill jobs. Minimum Wage at best.

The supermarket chains say they are asking workers to help pay insurance premiums in response to spiraling health-care costs.

Welcome to the club. Everyone is being asked to shoulder the burdon of health care, maybe with the excetion of of government workers in which the government is only too happy pass the cost to the taxpayers. I say forget it, pay up and go back to work. You get more bang for you heath care buck these days. I bet their plan pays 80% of the cost for Viagra and those other elective items.
