Solidarity Actions Mobilizing Customer Support for Grocery Workers

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
“After handing out flyers in front of the Burke [VA] Center Giant, I wanted to see if the customers were delivering the cards to the UFCW Giant employees,” says OPEIU Local 2 member Joyce Putnam about a solidarity leafleting action she participated in over the weekend. “Sure enough, there were stacks of cards on their registers! The cashiers were so appreciative and commented on the many customers that had wished them well.” Solidarity actions continue throughout the week.
