I cringe when I read comments like "shut and work harder" or "why dont you work your way up to CEO." Those people have been so conditioned by the media to believe that it is chicken shit to stand up for your rights and demand better wages...when its the other way around. Its time to grow up and get real. If we dont stick together we are all going to be making minimum wage. Union Yes.

Powerful video> The UFCW local 175 represents over 28,000 food retail workers in Ontario. These employers, such as Loblaws say they can't afford to pay a decent wage. You decide.

LOL!!! You guys work in a grocery store and you cant stack loaves of bread neatly!?!?! I know you only make 1 loaf of bread but you can still do your job properly LOL!!

BTW Im just joking.

Ive worked jobs that suck allot (including 1 at a grocery store). The way things seem to work is that the CEO makes 99.999% of the money for doing 0.001% of the work. While the low levels do 99.999& of the work for 0.001% of the money.

I cringe when I hear folks say they have the personal right to FORCE someone else to pay what THEY think is fair, rather than what the market bears. Since the employee isn't responsible for the company, BUT THE CEO IS, who do you think is going to have a better view of things?

Friggin' greedy mafioso-wannabe commie thugs...should all be strung by their entrails from the light poles around their union thug hall.

Wow,really?I'm a grocery store worker and I make minimum,actually just the student minimum wage of $8.20 an hour. So 500 times that is $4100.00 an hour.Really?Who is this? The person who owns the store or the person who owns the chain?The person who owns the chain probably had to work very hard to get to the top. I agree though, 4100 dollars an hour is a RIDICULOUS amount. When I get a $200 paycheck I'm very happy (only 15 though, no bills) so I guess why can't a ceo be happy with a little less?

Did you know that about 42 million U.S. workers say they would join a union if they could? When workers try to get a voice on the job by forming a union, employers respond with intimidation, retaliation. Federal law just doesn't address this injustice. The Employee Free Choice Act would ensure that when a majority of employees in a workplace decide to form a union, they can do so without the barriers employers now use to block their workers' free choice. Unions are only as strong as the members.
