What does that mean for us? We must be vigilant in supporting our fellow Union Sisters and Brothers as they navigate this Labor/Management dispute. Members of the UFCW Local 7 voted by 95% to strike, which means that 7600 members of the 8000 voted to strike. This being said, we can not cross the picket line. |
