What the F, TJ? Want to make a loyal customer of 15+ years quit? This is how you do it. We’re a union family, we vote with our dollars too.

Presumably union families have more dollars to vote with as well.

Where are you gonna shop that’s better? Kroger? Safeway? Walmart? Whole foods? It’s fucked up.

I used to shop at a kroger that had a UFCW sticker on the sliding doors out front. They represent 835,000 grocery workers. Unions have a strong foothold in American Grocery stores. Sounds like TJ’s needs em.

My qfc has a sticker at the front door that says the staff is unionized, so I’m shopping always there.

More than the chain l, I think it’s better to shop of places that are unionized

There has been a push to unionize some TJ locations.

Here is an interview with one of the organizers from MA.

Not all locations, such as my local one, are unionized. Hopefully there is some good progress soon since some lawsuits against the unions were tossed out of court late last year.

Edit: Just want to clarify that the existence of unions doesn’t justify their anti-union rhetoric, I do believe that corporate is shitty. I recently learned about their union struggle and wanted to share the story

A TJ’s in my area unionized last year. I went there and congratulated as many staff as I could find. You could tell which way they voted by their response to my good tidings. Most seemed to really appreciate the support.
