Shoppers Warehouse Retaliating Against Workers
Tuesday, June 26, 2012
(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)UFCW Local 400 is urging area activists to call
Shoppers Food Warehouse – 1-855-746-7737 –
to demand that management stop retaliating
against workers. Local 400 has filed
“multiple charges against Shoppers for
violating the NLRA rights of our members
there,” reports Strategic Contract Campaigns
Coordinator Breanne Armbrust. These include
changing Local 400 members' work schedules,
telling them they can't talk to
customers/co-workers, and harassing them when
they shop as customers. Local 400 “is
standing firm that we are within our rights and
that our employer is attempting to have a
chilling effect on the activism that we’ve
been engaging in as part of our fight for a
contract in 2012,” adds Armbrust. Click
