I applaud and support the workers and the union. I am union member of musican's union and teachers' union and appreciate the support I had !

[@TheTraveler33]

Yeah and whatever new "benefits" they get will come at the price of higher prices and more inflation. This is a never ending downward spiral.

[@amandanelson4681]

It’s sad that this is happening. I support the workers. Their parent company has been running ads touting their investment of more than $500 million in employee salaries, healthcare, etc… it’s entirely why I am opposed to the Kroger/Albertson’s merger. #NoMonopolies #CorporateGreed

Bloomberg:"Kroger Co. hiked prices on milk and eggs more than needed to account for inflation, the company’s top pricing executive testified during a court hearing on the US government’s bid to block the grocery chain’s purchase of rival Albertsons Cos." Stand with local workers and not admitted price gougers.

Instead of wasting time these people could just go and work somewhere else for a higher wage.. or maybe people should look into a real career, something that’s above $20 an hour. Most people don’t wanna do real work and that’s when you find yourself working a low paying job. Now days you will not afford anything if you are working less then $20. Just find a new job and stop wasting time.

I’m going to shop at Freddy’s exclusively while they protest.😂

[@amandanelson4681]

This isn’t a protest, it’s union workers striking for living wages, affordable healthcare insurance and holding corporate greed accountable for their poor decisions that adversely affect 10’s of thousands of workers. Your comment is uninformed and juvenile
