Considering the average salary in Tacoma is $40,000, $65K must go pretty far. And those $40K workers work all year. And during this strike, those $40K workers are scrambling to find & pay for childcare.
Democratic lawmakers and other union members have called on them to quit striking, but the union is tone deaf.
So you are in fact fighting for everyone to become poor. The question was not how poor are the citizens there but rather how far does 65K go there.
Albertsons doesn't need any excuses, or help from those who would do the job for them. It used to be a major grocery chain in Dallas area in the 1990s. Over last ten years, it surprises me to see one still operating with ten vehicles parked in front of it.
Nice pic. That's from what year? 2008? No? How about 1994? No? 1979? Still no? 1964? STILL no?
Hmm... I'm thinking that the "unions prevent slave labor" argument falls flat on its face in 2011.
Want to go back to those times? The picture demonstrates just how far greed of corporations, and the management that runs them, will go if unchecked.
