This was not a problem with Staters and Gelsons, both of whom knew there would be no sweetheart agreements for them, and who were eager to get something real in place while the big guys slugged it out.

Simply mind boggling shit. Fair? There's nothing "fair" about the stater bro agreement - it's settling at best. I think we should thank the big 3 national chains for their greater greed and stalling the charade. It gives everyone time to really get a good picture of the fucking ufcw sell-out close up.

Fair is when people don't have to quibble for mere crumbs. Fair is when union organizations don't malign, undermine or endanger it's members' lives. Fair is when there are no lies and deceit. Fair is when this entire labour system collapses, biz-U dies a painful death and employers have to quibble to set up shop in our communities.

Truly, i hope they prove me wrong. I hope they are going to fight to the death to save members pensions, health care and restore decent wages. The good news is when the dust settles, we will be able to see if this was real or if it was memorex. Time will tell cb, but as a betting man my money would be on me rather than them.


Its too late. The groundwork should have been laid three years ago.

Their plan is now in place. Cheesy websites, buttons and stickers shoveled into break rooms, petitions circulated by business agents with only 10,000 signatures when there are over 100,000 unionized grocery workers in California all spells disaster.

This is it baby, its the best they can do. Thats what we are paying for and if thats the case why should I pay for this crappy service they ofer working people.

They should change their slogan from the voice of working America to the peonage of working America.

Can anyone else hear Bob Dylan?

This is it baby,
Its the best that we can do.
Take it and be satisfied
Be satisfied.

The corporate pigs came calling.
We resisted with most our might.
They lured us with some pension funds.
So we gave up the fight.

This is it baby,
Its the best that we can do.
Take it and be satisfied
Be satisfied.

So you're suffering big time
Must be you are a lower class
We don't live among you
Special friends took care of that.

This is it baby,
Its the best that we can do.
Take it and be satisfied
Be satisfied.

So you can't get health care
or food to fill you're plate
Hell we seen it coming
It's just easier this way

This is it baby...
