Well over 100 activists have already signed up to support local
supermarket workers in their fight for a fair contract. Many are downloading
pocket-sized worker support cards to give to their neighborhood checkout clerks,
while others will be delivering solidarity cards to local store managers or
helping organize leafleting actions outside their neighborhood Giant or Safeway.
Community support for grocery workers is key to their winning a just contract;
negotiations are ongoing and the current contract expires at the end of the
month. Click
