Don't do it. You will not be helping your community if so.
About 20,000 Fry's and Safeway grocery workers in Arizona could walk off the job at 6 p.m. Friday if the companies and the workers' union fail to reach a contract deal by the deadline.
If a deal is not reached, it would be the first general Arizona grocery strike in decades.
Most working Americans cannot afford $5 a week for individual health coverage and $15 a week to cover an entire family. This is wrong!
The workers would be entitled to about $150 per week in strike pay should they walk out.
Typically, store managers and other salaried workers fill in as clerks and stockers during a strike. Sometimes salaried employers from other states are brought in to help.
The companies also could hire temporary workers.

My step father works at Frys, and the people that run those companies are trying to take away his pension, (money after retirement) and insurance. These people are greedy. Join the cause; (please don't shop at Frys or Safeway! Workers all over the state will be picketing this Friday to stop the madness. And I will be, too. Right next to them.

Isn't that crazy? A friend of mine's mom is on strike at Fry's. Employers think they can treat workers however they want.
