Saving the Boss's Job Union Action

      Just when we thought unions were down for the count, there is Market Basket, a supermarket chain located in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, which sounds a bit like Costco—workers earned living wages with good benefits.

      Then one day the company came along, and replaced the CEO Arthur T. DeMoulas with a relative Arthur S, same last name, who set about maximizing shareholder profit at the expense of the workers. The old fast-food formula that has pushed a lot of Americans out of the middle class into the lower class, enriched the one percent, and made America practically a third world country, in view of the  disparity between the haves and have-nots.

      With no formal union, just a few organizers, the 600 Market Basket employees have refused to deliver supplies until the former CEO is reinstated. MB store shelves are bare for a month now.

Strange times make strange bedfellows, and any critical eye loves the originality of a impromptu union striking to save the boss's job!
