So are the regional union chains. But Walmart, Costco, Target, Trader Joe's , Aldi, Whole Foods and other non-union chains are growing fast. The UFCW should bend over backwards in dealing with the union chains or else it's going to find itself nearly out of business in 10 years or so. Look what happened to the auto worker union.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023018867778958193.post-10272584293073072092010-07-04T22:01:05.358-07:002010-07-04T22:01:05.358-07:00AWESOME TIM GOT AN ALMOST 7 MILLION DOLLAR BoNUS I...AWESOME TIM GOT AN ALMOST 7 MILLION DOLLAR BoNUS IN ONE MONTH AND SOME employees on workers compensation with legitimate claims in california cannot get their physical therapy authorized and can hardly walk i like mr mason but am pretty sure that if got hurt at a store workabout he would get immediate surgical repair for a torn tendon but he would probably go through his private doctor instead of dealing with bloody chartisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023018867778958193.post-90478101833630069402010-07-03T19:28:55.634-07:002010-07-03T19:28:55.634-07:00I posted some comments on F&E's facebook d...I posted some comments on F&E's facebook discussion, "anti-union." It's unclear if F&E is deleting the employee comments or if the employees themselves are deleting the comments.Either way, it does seem odd that at least two employee comments have been removed. There are a few new posts since your coverage. Check them out. Jane is aware of this blog.

It will include analysis of the vote.<br /><br />38% of Tesco shareholders voted against the directors' rumuneration report, and another 9%abstained. That's a significant opposition to the pay package approval for Tim Mason and the others.<br /><br />Take a look at our www.twitter.com/FreshNEasyBuzz feed. We have a tweet from yesterday about it.<br /><br />Also, suggest you let F&E Jane know you are commenting on this post - perhaps she might like to join in.<br /><br />You said F&E is deleted employee posts about the union issue on the Facebook site. Could you offer some specific examples?Fresh & Easy Buzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06339190145395775927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023018867778958193.post-12717132868187663762010-07-03T15:20:19.545-07:002010-07-03T15:20:19.545-07:00Will do!

I think stockholders were hesitant to vote against the remuneration package for fear of stock value falling. I'm still dumbfounded that a company can be 1/2 billion dollars in debt with a CEO making over $6.18 (article today states $6.5 million) for the year. <br /><br />Also laughing a bit by the true brainwashing done on F&E employees. Interesting how they delete their comments on facebook, too. Kudos to Jane for having the backbone to go against opposition!<br /><br />July 2, 2010 10:32 PMTomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023018867778958193.post-16337043797760182322010-07-03T08:57:25.322-07:002010-07-03T08:57:25.322-07:00i work for this company to and i see how there is ...i work for this company to and i see how there is 1 set of rules 4 managers and another 4 the backbusting employees. no wonder why they keep us as at will employees. they always tell us dont talk 2 union people. never why we should not. they want us 2 follow like a pack of sheep with no brain of our own. of course tim mason seems like a nice guy when he comes 2 the stores---i could be nice and say all sort of good shit about the company if i were paid his salary.NotADumAssnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023018867778958193.post-71794603248970234112010-07-01T18:18:46.731-07:002010-07-01T18:18:46.731-07:00Anonymous July 1, 2010 1:30 AM: Feel free to read ...Anonymous July 1, 2010 1:30 AM: Feel free to read your comment and makes some corrections so it makes better sense.

He isn't part of the union he is defending and Jane to me seem to be an employee that probably isn't worth the money they pay here now.<br /><br />If they researched the UFCW They would see everything they argue against F and E can be argued against any union grocer and the union itselfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
