    If Fred Meyer and QFC (Kroger’s regional brands) are going to stay open, what does this strike mean? Just picketers outside the stores?

      They’ll ship in non-union employees (either managers or those who have chosen to leave it) and run the store with that skeleton crew, possibly rush-hiring non-union employees too.

    Will not meet our demands? Fuck you. Off like a light switch.

    Employers, and more importantly employees, don’t understand that labor is a competition. I find the comments on here stunning.

    “We’re so helpless!”

    No. You are not. You work for minimum wage, or close enough, take your labor elsewhere. I just did. The employers will figure it out soon enough.

    “But we can’t…”

    Fucking QUIT, WALK OUT, LEAVE. Yeah, you might suffer a bit, but they’ll suffer more.

    Guess we need leaders to point this all out and take action.
