The UFCW STRIKE photoblog is up and running and, after starting in California, the strike has now spread to at least three other states. There is already some discussion among union members on the site and of course, plenty of pictures from the lines.

The core issue is that management is attempting to pass insurance costs onto the employees AND cut benefits. The result of their proposal would force employees into higher co-pay requirements and drastically raise the prices of surgery and other procedures. They are picketing in front of stores, discouraging customers to go in.
Please spread the word to anyone you know and of course on the web, let me know if you blog this and I will link to it on the side bar.
