#Unifor #Metro #strike raises the bar for #GroceryStore workers across the country

Unifor-Metro deal helps set floor for future agreements. Big Three have come under fire in recent years for high #profits amid skyrocketing #inflation.

"If it appears on the ballot as a choice for voters, it will make it look like they are choosing between two ordinances," Dorn said. "But Measure Two is already law, and that will not change even if voters vote on it."

Why I talk about "third partying a #union" and what that means.

When the #SAG voted their strike authorization it was 98% in favor

#WGA was the same.

The 2022 King Soopers strike (#UFCW Local 7)? 98% in retail, 97% in meat.

The 2021 #IATSE strike authorization vote? 98% of the 90% who voted

When you hear someone talk about how this is "the union" they are trying to treat the union as a third party that is stepping between the workers and the bosses.

The workers, however, are "the" union.

Food prices are devastating to a lot of people right now, and a grocery merger of two large corporations like Kroger and Albertsons is NOT what we need.

Organizers... this is rightly pissing a lot of people off and is one way we can bring more of the working class together.

You won't see me giving my money to any business owned by these fuckers if I can help it.

Do you support Union Workers? Do you live in MPLS, MN? Then do not shop at Lunds & Byeryls. Union workers at their stores have been working without a new contract since March 5th. The hold up? Healthcare for full time workers. They want union members on the company plan. Problem? We won’t know the plan until Jan. 2024. Tell Lunds & Byeryls you stand with the union by not shopping there until they have fair wages and let them keep there union benefits! #unions #ufcw #wages #minnesota #unionstrong

4/🧵 But I always wondered what would happen if the workers there organized. I figured the progressive image would turn out to have the standard "except unions" caveat. The owner claims in other circumstances he would be excited to work with a unionized workforce. I guess we will never know.

3/🧵 From about 2008-12 I was involved in organizing in the food and beverage industry. Long before today's #StarbucksWorkersUnited and before even #FightFor15. We had meetings at Common Roots a few times. They offered a community room to non profits for free. We used it but I don't think mentioned precisely what kind of non profit we were. I'll actually miss the place a bit.

2/🧵 I don't have much to add. Seems like they think the owner's claim the place would have closed anyway is plausible. Still gross to close it even earlier because of #unionization if you ask me. And the events leading up to the workers' push to start a formal #CollectiveBargaining #union are gross too. They mention firings that look very much to me like #UnfairLaborPractices, or illegal retaliation for collective action.

#UFCW #LaborUnions #TradeUnions #FoodWorkerUnions #Unions

1/🧵 Days after workers at Common Roots Cafe asked the owner to recognize their #union with a large supermajority of support, the owner abruptly closed the business citing ongoing financial difficulties. The workers have given their side of what happened. Please give it a read first of all before my take.

Nice to see #UFCW getting some respect in this article for advocating for safer conditions for critical grocery workers. I know where I'll be shopping next.

Okay, this is odd. Who is organizing this? Sprouts Workers United? #UFCW? Why no mention of an organization? Why no demand for #union recognition, even in the "$15 and a union" spirit? https://www.coworker.org/petitions/sprouts-farmers-market-is-good-for-customers-terrible-for-workers-1?akid=2113.496696.unN1Iw&rd=1&t=4&utm_source=email
