Let us not forget conservative presidential Jesus (Reagan) was a union leader longer than he was president. If you need a history lesson about labor and unions in the USA, just drive down I25 to Ludlow Colorado.

This is a thread about Kroger, not Carnegie. What is an acceptable (to you) profit margin for Kroger? Or, let's say you own a company . . . what is the bare minimum profit margin you would agree to operate at? And what happens when you're at that limit and your employees want to strike because you "can afford to pay your employees"?

If you were Safeway in TX back around the '80s, you closed all your stores and your union employees were now out of a job.

Fundamentally speaking, they can shut branches/stores down if their cost is much higher than the revenue.
Can company [legally] shut it down some branches during strike?

What's the risk? What are the alternative places I can place my money? You act like Kroger exists to serve you. Guess what. It does not. It exists to make money. Period.

Edit: You may have been replying to Del Fuego, apologize if you were, and just please add this on. :)

Fucking anti-work people...

"what is the minimum profit you will take to treat me like a king?"

First time ever... no KS ads (junk mail) in the mail this week. YEAHHHH!

I'm surprised the car manufacturers are still advertising their bare lots?

Pretty soon it will be all Government, all the time.
