Biden plays the angry white man real well.

I’m surprised guys working in a convenience store even get healthcare benefits.

The Company reduced the amount they are paying for health care for its employees due to skyrocketing healthcare costs caused by ObamaCare. In other words Biden and his gang are responsible for the cuts.

Stop & Shop says it proposes paying at least 92 percent of health premiums for family coverage and 88 percent for individuals. The company currently covers 94.3 percent of premiums for families and 91.4 percent for individuals.

Man, only covering 92%! That means...let me think...I have to pay 8% of my insurance! If I were you, I'd quit my job and work for someone who pays 100%. Problem is, you can't find one who needs a re-stocker, or a butcher, or cashier who even comes close to that. But you listen to Joe, vote Democrat, and dig your hole deeper so Joe keeps you right where he wants you...you idiot.

“My dad left Scranton because he didn’t have work,” he said.

Hmmm...wonder if Unions had anything to do with that?

Looks like Ed Markey.

Howie Carr,a great Boston talk host and columnist,refers to Markey as "Mister Frostee".

New England has better supermarkets - Shop-Rite, Price Chopper, Big Y, Hannaford, IGA. Stop & Shop is not as great as the others. Price Chopper is great, so is Big Y...and I forgot Acme and Shaw’s...

It doesn’t matter - Stop and Shop will be out of Business in a year or less. They are already getting crushed by non-union stores - Wal Mart, Aldi, Costco, Big Y, etc. Wegmans will move in and finish them off.

And the verdict is in! Wegman’s is the greatest supermarket chain in history! (Full disclosure: I live in Rochester) lol

Agreed. S&S is getting hurt by non-union stores, even before the strike their stores were always slow compared to the competition across the street. When S&S is willing to loose their Easter/Passover sales in 3 states, that ether says the Union demand are outrageous OR they are going to make changes soon.

Don’t forget Aldi’s - got a spiral sliced ham there for $0.95 per pound, and Trader Joe’s.

No need for S&S anymore.

The poor Stop ‘n’ Shop dolts are faced with the terrifying prospect of having to pay upwards of THREE WHOLE EXTRA DOLLARS a week for their health care.

Just out of curiosity, I've been wondering what their union dues come to. Anyone know?

Makes sens go on strike for 8 days now over a

I remember back in July 1995 when the Detroit newspaper strike began. It involved over 2,500 union members and lasted until February 1997. Other than pure ignorance, I still can't understand how they could justify losing almost two years of wages.

It got nasty, picketers at the Sterling Heights plant on 16 Mile and Mound would occasionally throw "stars" (kinda like jacks) onto the highway causing drivers traveling by to get flat tires.....
