Here’s the statement issued by the union:<\/p>\n
“The super majority of grocery store workers in our region are unionized workers and as such have the right to regularly (typically every 3 years) sit down with their employers to negotiate the terms of their employment including wages, benefits and working conditions including staffing, schedules and safety. Despite some success in reaching some agreement, the wealthy CEOs of these large national chains who make well over 300 times the average grocery store worker, are still proposing only a fraction of the wages needed for workers to have a decent quality of life.<\/em><\/p>\n Since early June workers have taken action in front of hundreds of stores across the region raising these concerns. In order to reach a larger audience, the workers are taking a message to the afternoon commute. We are doing the overpasses as a way to get out our message. We have been hard at work for nearly 6 months to resolve our contracts short of a dispute. We hope the employer will reach a fair agreement soon.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Reaching commuters Wednesday afternoon, evening <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":106,"featured_media":42310,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,9],"tags":[],"yst_prominent_words":[],"class_list":["post-42309","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-home"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42309"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/106"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42309"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42309\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42310"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42309"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42309"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42309"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=42309"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
