Following through on a threat that's been building for weeks, some 31,000 Stop and Shop employees voted to go out on strike today at stores throughout New England. The action took effect Thursday afternoon.
At the Bristol store, workers would not comment, but were posted at each entrance to the store with signs saying they are on strike. The dispute between the global corporation and the workers is focused on wages, benefits and worker rights. The union asserts that, despite corporate seeing $74 billion in net sales last year, Stop & Shop negotiators have only proposed cuts to workers benefits and take-home pay while increasing automation that will cause job loss.
