On June 30, 2010 we published this piece - Tom & Jane Plus Two Discuss Unionization at Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market - about a discussion on the Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market Facebook site about whether or not the non-union food and grocery chain should be unionized.Tom, (who's not an employee of Fresh & Easy) and Jane (who is an employee of Tesco's Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market) are the two most active discussion members, hence we used their names in the story's title. Well, and... the names also made for a good sounding headline, despite the similarity to John and Kate plus...
Since we ran the piece, the union/non-union discussion on the Facebook site has gotten more interesting - and richer - with additional folks joining in, including other Fresh & Easy employees. Tom and Jane have added additional comments as well.
You can view - and read the additional comments - the ongoing discussion on unionization at Tesco's Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market here.
