The Grocery Unions pulled this about eight years ago, here in SoCal. The impacted grocers were pretty big back then, and it was a pain for the consumer.

Since that time, in my little town (50,000), a Trader Joe’s, and Walmart Grocery opened up, and Target dramatically expanded their grocery department (all non union).

Just as with the Hostess strike, these unions are like little kids, who hold their breath, and turn purple, because they think they will prevail. The consumer will be better off, when all is said and done, and the unions will find themselves with less, rather than more benefits, and power.

True enough. The sad part though is that the average grocery store worker is no brain surgeon. The union thugs get them together and tell them that if they stick together and support their leadership they will get what they deserve (read "want.") They don't realize that the only people who benefit from a union in 2013 are the thugs in charge, who live large on the dues paid out of members' hard earned wages.

The union rank and file is to be pitied, as sheep being sheared by their supposed protectors.

They will get what they deserve, all right, but not what they want.
