A&P Workers Ask: Why, Big Y? What About Our Jobs?

A&P workers lost their jobs when Big Y bought their stores--and wouldn't hire many of the former A&P employees to do their old jobs in their old stores! In addition, Big Y laid off many of its own workers as well, even when they were expanding.

Workers are wondering Why, Big Y? Are our communities best served by working families out of work this holiday season? Will Big Y do the right thing and make a real commitment to providing good jobs with real stability in our communities?

@rockerbaby100187 and o ya you know why they wanted stop and shop to buy A&P because it's a UNION!!!! I am treated very nicely as a NON union employee at Big Y. I have great benefits as a part-time employee. Go cry to someone else because if you had wanted a job so badly you would have dropped your union.

You know why you didn't get your job back because big y is a non union store!

This is why I'm Red till I'm Dead. Time to nationalize these fuckers and make the executives watch their worthless families starve.
