300 families, 5 days, 60 mile march for justice at Shaw’s-- STAND WITH SHAW’S WORKERS TO SAVE GOOD JOBS IN THE COMMUNITY!
Shaw’s and their parent company, Supervalu, have forced the workers to go on strike since March 7 over unfair demands for workers to bear ALL the burden of increasing health care costs. On April 1, Shaw’s unilaterally cut off the workers’ health care.
Workers and supporters are marching to urge Shaw’s to come to the bargaining table with a proposal that keeps good jobs in the community, instead of a regressive proposal that lowers workers’ living standards.
Contact Megan Pierce at 781-864-6285 or mpierce@ufcw.org to find out how you can join the march or how you can help the marchers along the way.
