I think the one who will split from the union will be Steve Burd. I would bet that his agenda is to totally remove the union form all Safeway stores. You may ask how? When all the old timers are gone and the new hires are the main workers, he will just ask for a decert of the union from his employees.

One store would be doable but to what end?

Thank-you Laboryes for the important letter written by a member who experienced first hand the professionalism exhibited by individuals earning salaries well over a $100,000 a year. Salaries obtained through union members dues. In fact, I remember back in 1997, after Joe Ciotti and John Heise became experts in the many ways to harass members who were exercising their right to oppose the union leadership in a democratic election, coming into the Lucky store were I worked and having John Heise scream at me at the top his lungs while in the store's backroom the following phrase and excuse the English he chose to speak: "shut your 'fucking' mouth Frank." This was after I told them of my dissatisfaction in the way he was terrorizing my brother Jack and his family while driving his vehicle on their way to Church. Well the good news back then was that John Heise and Joe Ciotti were only making half of what they earn today. These two guys doubled their salaries since 1997. How well have the members fared since 1997?

Well what do you expect from "unionbusters?" Did you know unionbusters can sometimes be defined as individuals who will go out of their way to prevent employees of a company from having democratic elections?

What is Unionbusting? The term unionbusting describes the planned course of action to stop workers from organizing a union or to destroy a union already in the workplace. I think the Loveall's have done a good job destroying our union

However, these guys are more than just "unionbusters." These guys are sometimes referred to as low intelligent "thugs."

There needs to be some sort of tiering system, way beyond seniority, that would give something more to the lifers, yet keep the entry jobs for the "passers through".

I think what is happening between employers and ufcw can better be described as integration.

...I understand what it means to be of standing on the edge of the abyss staring down.
