In a time of growing monopoly power and inequality, UFCW Local 3000 has organized militant fights against the biggest corporate giants in grocery and healthcare.
Fantastic interview! As a 20+ year resident of the Seattle area and QFC/Freddy's shopper, going to the store has gotten worse and worse over time. I don't think Faye mentioned it, but now at Meyers there are armed guards holding sharpies who mark your receipt when you leave the store. I guess I might be stealing Tide pods! My QFC when I moved here was open 24 hrs! Now the stores close so early. Seriously, when I was working mother of a school age kid, sometimes the only time I could go grocery shopping was after dinner and homework. I guess if I were in the same boat now I might have to resort to Amazon or Instacart, underlining Faye's point that supporting the workers' at these stores would make the stores better for shoppers.
