There was a sign at my local grocery store saying it's a union store, in fact there was one at most of the stores where I used to live (I live outside the US now). I've seen the workers striking outside the store. There were also news articles late last year where the union had won increased benefits / pay through a recent strike.
- diob 7y agoI appreciate you taking the time to reply, but this is hardly proof. It's all anecdotal. I was hoping you might provide some articles or citations backing up your point.
- imgabe 7y agoI'm sure entering "grocery worker union" or similar terms into your favorite search engine will turn up ample evidence of the fact that unions for grocery workers do indeed exist.
- diob 7y agoFunny, but that's not the question I asked. I'm not trying to start a fight here, I simply asked for evidence that the unions are "strong" as you said. For my side, I guess I could point to the fact that Walmart workers as a whole have never been able to unionize, mostly due to the intervention of Walmart.
