King Soopers workers in Colorado to be locked out

And I bet many of management were in church today, feeling holy.

I really don't like the vomiting emoticon, but I'm feeling very sick.

This sux.

so they can rehire.......

......At Much Lower Wages

As I said, I'm sick.

:kick:

It's gonna get hard to find a grocery store at this rate though.

Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to break the habit of eating, so.....

Jesus, I shop at king soopers because their labor is union and I hate the Evil Empire(wal-mart). This makes so fucking mad! I know alot of people who have made their careers at those stores...:nuke:
I am totally at a lose for words...

I'm angry, but I'm also grieving.

I've been priviledged to meet some really fine people who work there, and I'm soooo hurt *for* them. I would give anything to be able to do something to make this better for them.

I've had days that have gone all wrong, and feel like crap, and I go to my local King Soopers and one of the three people is always there (sometimes two of them), and I get a hug and a friendly word, and my day immediately improves. That's the kind of people they are. Now, they are in need, and there's not much I can do except to let them know I care. Crap.

I'm very ashamed of my country!

These are good people ---they don't deserve to be treated like this!

I will write letters, but.... the deal is sealed.

anger, frustration, saddness... it all just sux.

one thing that really pissed me off during the grocery strike here in CA was that the teamsters only supported them for ONE WEEK, the week of THANKSGIVING. the rest of the time they kept making deliveries to the stores.

Now there's just about EVERYTHING wrong with that.

How big is it? Does it have a corporate parent?

But I don't believe they're in any other states. At least none in the West, to my knowledge (unless that's changed in the last 2 years)

and, I'm assuming the same thing is happening there.

This reeeks.

Kroger is now the "parent" (abusive parent???)

It was started many many years ago, as a Mom and Pop, and I understand that King himself was quite a good person.

Corporate crap is going to be the undoing of EVErYONE.

they have King Soopers and City Market stores in Colorado.
