A union, like a political party, is only as strong as you hold them to being. Glad the membership is actually pushing the union to do more than doormat for the corporation.

I'm still so pissed about how screwed grocery workers were during COVID, the pathetic "essential worker" trifle amounts that quickly disappeared while the profits of grocers soared, and meanwhile comp, benefits and conditions didn't keep up anything near inflation. And Kroger then had the gall to push for a merger to make it's awful practices bigger! If it weren't for the states and timing of the ruling I'm sure Trump's FTC would have forced it through.
