King Soopers Strike... Again

[Doc45]

Talked to some of the folks at my preferred KS today and they were quite content with the company's offer and disappointed in the strike vote. So much so they all said it's time for them to move on, all are long time employees and not happy with Local 7's leadership. They are putting in their two weeks notice today.

It’s a shame (shameful) that the union leadership wouldn’t even allow the members to vote on the contract offer. Instead they took them to a strike without a voice on the offer.

Most "service industry" unions don't even give a shit about the workers. Their administrators and organizers are professional activists who never worked in the industries they represent.

I've stopped going to KS most of the time over the last couple years. Everyone who works there just always seems... miserable.

There's a handful of things I get that's only sold there, so I figured why not sign up for the online shopping thing and just get it delivered. Yeah those couple items aren't available at all for delivery so I let it lapse. Now I go like once every other month or so.

Safeway by me I enjoy going into. All the employees seem happy, they'll chat with me, help me find something, all the good things, so I don't mind paying that little more. And Walmart has been great for shopping too, all the workers there are pretty happy too.

One thing I've really enjoy at my new location is grocery shopping at Hannaford's. Every employee there always seems happy and more than willing to help you !!! The KS at 136th & Zuni was a trip I actually started to hate.

King Doops is offering free delivery on $35 or more through March 4.

Nice idea, but I am too selective when it comes to produce and protein.

I can't allow some stranger to touch my meat.

Depends on what she looks like and the price .

Went to the local Soopers last night. It was not busy like it typically would be. Really nice shopping experience. Are people staying away to support the striking workers or are they afraid to cross the scary picket line? It was pretty easy to ignore the striking workers out front.

Maybe I'm getting old and the years just string together . . . but, didn't King Soopers strike not all that long ago??? Guess I'll be walking past the protesters again. Never been a fan of strikes. I'm guessing these people on strike would not like it very much if there was something they needed, but those workers went on strike. Furnace out? Sorry, HVAC guys are on strike again. Solidarity and all that, ya know.

I do a fair amount of work myself at the grocery store anyway nowadays. They pretty much all rely on self-checkout. Go get my own groceries, scan my own stuff, bag it, etc. I'm sure KS will cave somewhere along the line and then these people will come back to work and pick back up again--until they decide they want to strike again in a couple years.
