I guess Lizzie needed to get her photo-op in in exchange for a reallocation of union dues to her 2020 campaign. Because striking over a $3-5 increase in insurance costs each week is worth not getting paid, right?

Hope the workers know where to go of a hand out when they drive he company they’re working for out of business. S&S is known to be the best paying grocery store to work for.

And after the abuse I got from their workers when I ran in to pick up a few things after work yesterday, when the strike is over, I’ll never go in there again.

Not crossing the picket lines means taking your business elsewhere (probably to a non-union shop).

Unless you are planning on not eating for the duration of the strike.

This helps these workers HOW, exactly?

This Marxist maniac is scrounging for every leftist union vote. Totally predictable and phony.

But it is ok for aliens to cross our borderline illegally. Guess she doesn’t realize they take jobs from Americans. What a shrew.

What is ‘stop n shop’? A party store? A dollar store?

"they’re asking for health care benefits and just as shot at a decent retirement,”

OK they already have good health care benefits with a lower-than-average deductible AND a defined benefit pension plan!! That is basically unheard of in that industry - hell it's rare in the private sector period!

And these nitwits are going on strike. SMH.

You don’t see many strikes any more. They used to be going on all the time.

“Understand people on the picket line are not just fighting for their families. They’re fighting for all our families.....”

Does Lizzie not understand that Stop and Shop will pass increased operating costs on to the very people she’s telling not to cross the line? Sheesh, college professors aren’t very smart, are they? LOL

Fair wages is what the market is willing to pay for services based on skills rendered. If you want higher wages then get better skills.

Stop and shop employees. Those are low end jobs and not worthy of much pay.

I wish I was home this week. I would dance back and forth across the line.

Warren strikes me as a “Whole Foods” / specialty cheese shop kind of shopper. Doubt she would shop Stop & Shop.

If misguided, constitutionally low-information Sen. Warren wasn't helping the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification feds to regularly steal state revenues and taxpayer dollars by means of unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, then citizens may not be fighting over money as much.

Reminds me of my father who worked at GE in the 60’s. They went on strike for over 6 months for 10 cents more an hour. My father was a scab and crossed the picket line. He said it would take the rest of the idiots years to make up that 10 cents they lost for every hour they were out of work and he said I have a family to feed.

Liawatha is such a vacuous, hypocritical hack. She doesn’t give a whit about the workers or the impact it will have.

When Market Baskett was in the process of being taken over and destroyed by a greedy family member affecting 20 MILLION CUSTOMERS across the entire New England area. Chief Spreading Bull didn’t offer one ounce of support, or lift a finger to save the company, to protect the employees, or their 20 MILLION CUSTOMERS.

Even after multitudes of employees and customers pleaded for her support to stand with them just as numerous politicians throughout the area had done, Liawatha did NOTHING!

Market Baskett was saved as the result of a massive, ongoing “grass roots” campaign to save the company led by customers and MB employees. Chief Spreading Bull didn’t do a single thing to support their efforts.

The woman is nothing but an opportunistic, political hack who only cares about one person: herself.

When I lived in Massghaistan, Stop&Shop opened a delivery service called Pea Pod. People referred to that service quite correctly as Stop&Pea on the corner.

LOL. Last Place Lizzie is trying really really hard to catch fire. Next thing you know, she’ll be taking a swing at anyone who crosses the picket line and calling them “filthy scabs.”
