And if Gephardt is elected president, he will work to see that Texas and all other right-to-work states lose those rights.
I found this:
That's why the picketers you see outside your store are coming from another store and another neighborhood. They are not the employees of that particular store where they are picketing.
Of course, I'm sure Gephardt and cronies will manage to pass laws outlawing automatic scanning sans clerks.
That's not true in the case of the Ralph's by my house. I spent 15 minutes talking to picketers...employees I know from shopping there...including April...a woman I know from the neighborhood. Since they've stopped picketing at Ralph's these people I know have moved to Albertson's...so I now shop there.
Good for you :-)
I have not recognized any of the picketers at the Albertson and Ralph's stores I shop at. I was told they were not employees of those stores. I'm not sure why there is the difference unless location and abundance of picketed stores is a factor. It made sense to me to have unfamiliar faces on the picket line at your neighborhood store rather than use the same employees that the customers will have to face once the strike is over (not to mention what this hostility does to employee/employer relations once the strike is over). But then, no one ever accused the unions of having good business sense....
In a discussion I had with her she said she's against the strike and would rather be working. Unfortunately, she can't and for obvious reasons. When I told her I don't support the strike and why (I'm against all unions) she said she understood and I believe her. Some people are truly stuck in the middle.
