Glad everyone is still in good spirits!

Based on the limited number of pictures at the Daily Mail the protesters seem overwhelming white. As I do not living in the area perhaps it is just the demographics there. I have a habit of looking for diversity so it was simply something that I noticed.

There are many Spanish workers at MB

Don't get me wrong... I support the protesters but I was surprised how few African Americans were in the photos.

Thanks, gray!

This story has legs.

It's beginning to hurt the economy. Vendors are being affected, small businesses are being hurt. Low income people who have no where else to shop, like those in Haverhill that only have Market Baskets--no other supermarkets, are being hurt. Meanwhile, scab drivers are making $1000 a truckload to deliver product from the warehouse--more than the permanent workers were making.

There have been local tv interviews with workers who were either fired or walked off the job. They're standing strong and, though Artie T has not made any comments or contacted any of the workers, they know he is working furiously to fix this. Someone referred to him today as a humanitarian. Apparently, he paid for a worker's funeral a few years ago. I really hope he comes back.

Thanks for the link gray!
