We are on ULP strike. We gave @nytimes management months of notice of our strike deadline, we made ourselves available around the clock, but the company has decided that our members aren’t worth enough to agree to a fair contract and stop committing unfair labor practices.

The Kroger-Albertsons merger is concerning for both our farmers and consumers. Consolidation in the grocery industry could lead to fewer options and higher prices.  I'm committed to fighting this merger and preserving competition in the marketplace. yoursourceone.com/columbia_b…

Kroger and Albertsons are at it again! Despite a court-ordered injunction & a crucial ruling that could BLOCK this merger, they’re pushing forward, spreading fear & confusion. They’re posting notices about store sales to intimidate workers & mislead customers. Stayed ready! #1u

As the trial to #stopthemerger🚫 in Washington State wrapped up we made clear to the press that this merger is nothing more than a way to enrich the wealthiest shareholders and executives at the expense of everyone else! nogrocerymerger.com/petition
Screenshot of a local news broadcast with a text card reading "KROGER/ALBERTSON ON TRAIL IN WASHINGTON" Below that, "FAYE GUENTHER UFCW 3000, PRESIDENT" Below that the following quote, "These companies should stop wasting time and money and focus on running better grocery stores... This proposed merger not only threatens our jobs and our stores, it would also undercut our leverage as unionized workers to be able to negotiate strong collective bargaining agreements so we can get higher wages and better benefits." Below that is the KIRO 7 News chyron with the time, temp, KIRO webpage, and local Seattle traffic.

NEW: The McDonald's where Trump served fries has been the subject of protests by community members for paying just $7.25/hour. The owner is notorious for fighting any raise in the wages. Just like Trump, who refused to commit to raising the minimum wage during his media stunt.

Now imagine what might happen if Kroger and Albertsons are able to merge their 5000 stores across 48 states. Hello?

Families are struggling to put food on the table. I sent a letter to @Kroger about their decision to roll out surge pricing using facial recognition technology. Facial recognition technology is often discriminatory and shouldn't be used in grocery stores to price gouge residents.

Kroger execs are once again defending their ill-fated merger in court by wringing their hands about Walmart and their prices. centredaily.com/news/busines…

One of their execs said that “For 20 years we have been focused on getting our prices closer to Walmart's.” Then why has Kroger spent billions on stock buybacks, instead of investing in competitive pricing? supermarketnews.com/finance/…

Kroger re-ups stock buyback

Kroger Co. said Thursday its board of directors has approved a $1 billion share repurchase program, replacing the existing buyback program that has about $2 million remaining.

The answer is pretty simple, the stock buybacks enriched execs and investors, and a mega-merger with Albertsons would further enrich execs and investors. Sign the petition and tell Kroger to abandon their hubris ridden merger. nogrocerymerger.com/petition
In the upper right corner Squidward sleeps, in the upper left corner it reads “Being “maniacally focused on Walmart and their pricing,” when using profits for stock buybacks.” In the lower right corner Squidward is no awake and the picture is in red and blurry to emote anxiety. In the lower left corner the caption reads, “Being “maniacally focused on Walmart and their pricing” when defending a merger that will raise prices.”
