FReep This Poll! - Would you support a grocery workers' strike?

Yes

No

Not sure

[DogByte6RER]

Go to the North County Times/The Californian link provided here at this post.

Scroll down a bit on the homepage and look for the poll on the right hand side.

Vote your choice.

Hint: Ted Kennedy and the big labor union bosses would probably want you to vote "Yes"

I would like you FReepers to vote your conscience.

This poll should remain open until Saturday night (Pacific time.)

I don’t support the grocery workers strike(s) and I proved it last time every time I crossed their picket lines.

They have a job so simple a caveman could do it and they want to strike?

Personally, I prefer shopping at Trader Joe’s, as the ones here in Jersey are nonunion (for now).

Thank you, I'm not hungry.

[Greg F]

LOL . . . we had the same idea . . .

[DogByte6RER]

Comparing union workers to cavemen...how demeaning! To the cavemen, of course.

Been shopping there since 1976!

LUV it!

They’re also the only grocery in New Jersey that sells wine. Although the law states (since prohibition was repealed) that grocery stores are prohibited from selling liquor, the law only covers stores over a certain square footage. TJ’s is just under the limit, so it gets away with selling 3 Buck Chuck in NJ.

[Veggie Todd]

If they authorize a strike, these have to be the stupidest workers on earth. During the last strike, the union screwed them big time. Yeah, the stores lost millions too, but the workers were the ones that couldn’t pay their bills. Most took other jobs elsewhere and didn’t come back after the strike. But hey, it’s a free country, do what you want....

[stephenjohnbanker]

Their wines are half price, and their cheese is unbeatable!

[Mjaye]

I love TJ’s, but they’ve had a lot of recalls lately for weird germs in their food, the latest was something in the chopped onions to go. Plus the dogfood, and the green onions or salad awhile back, if I recall correctly. And I think one more. I guess I need to grow my own food...
