I myself am a public servant and have paid union dues, and was raised by a mom who was a teacher whose union was strong in protecting the rights of it's workers. HOWEVER, the idea of unionizing Fresh & Easy is LUDICROUS to me. #1, Tesco, as has been said is from the UK. #2, and more importantly, imho, F&E was launched from the beginning as a NEW TYPE OF MARKET. A SELF-SERVE Market!!!!!!! Can I repeat, SELF SERVE!!! Unionizing American Tech Support Pros, Webmasters or Paralegals--YES, Worthy of Consideration. Unionizing F&E employees who don't even ring up the groceries??? That to me is a blinded sense of entitlement.

I was just hassle...Harrassment is a two way street. I was just hassled by union organizers at a Fresh and Easy in CA, claiming F&E violates labor laws. I guess so, but the law took care of it. Before union workers unfurl their "Shame on so and so" banners they ought to examine their own behavior first. I see a double standard there. Based on this and the behavior during the last strike I don't have much respect for UFCW.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023018867778958193.post-11342599198093385812010-09-18T02:17:30.325-07:002010-09-18T02:17:30.325-07:00It is not just Fresh and Easy that has this issue!...It is not just Fresh and Easy that has this issue! Wild Rocket Foods their producer hired a team of security guards to monitor different areas of their building in Riverside, CA. They did not want the Union people or practices there either!! However, I can tellyou first hand what is going on! I worked there! Do not supportF&E by shopping there! Wild Rocket has violated every Civil Right and Workers' Comp. law you can imagine!!! This will all come out eventually how all of the higher ups are able to come to America and make a huge profit on stocks but as a whole F&E are showing the biggest lost!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023018867778958193.post-55837251320984416022010-07-21T09:43:55.861-07:002010-07-21T09:43:55.861-07:00In the UK cameras are everwhere.

Although many Americans aren't used to Big Brother follwing us, eventually survealliance cameras will be commonplace. <br /><br />There are countless video cams at fresh and easy. Two in every aisle, in the employee breakroom, parking lot, & back room - including in the coolers. Cameras recording audio & video are literally everywhere. I'm sure the abundance of cameras prevent internal theft, the most common cause of theft in a retail environment. <br /><br />I feel the cameras are there to moinitor employees more than anyone. After a few occourances of vandalisim & theft nothing was done to at the very least identify the person so they would be disallowed from the shop. However, should an empolyee be documented taking so much as a dying flower, they would be fired & charged with theft. Its a strange double standard, but it does keep employees honest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023018867778958193.post-36969953126495250532010-03-26T16:26:42.921-07:002010-03-26T16:26:42.921-07:00Anonymous said...
