Members of UFCW Local 1776, along with concerned consumers and activists from the Philadelphia area, rallied on Tax Day in front the Giant Food Store in West Chester, to call on Pennsylvania’s largest supermarket chain and one of the state’s largest employers, to disclose how much they pay in state income taxes to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Members from UFCW Local 1776 and concerned customers rallied on Tax Day in front of the Giant Food store in West Chester, Pa.

The event was part of a statewide Tax Day push for tax fairness sponsored by the Coalition for Labor Engagement and Accountable Revenue (CLEAR), an alliance of labor organizations representing over 1.1 million hard working Pennsylvanians that are united to fi ght for essential services and critical investments in Pennsylvania’s state budget and beyond.

Most of the companies evade some taxes by shifting income earned in Pennsylvania to tax-haven states like Delaware.

In February, the non-profi t Keystone Research Center sent a letter to Pennsylvania’s 1,000 largest for-profi t employers asking them to disclose how much each pays in state income taxes. The ten largest multi-state corporations doing business in the state, including Giant Food Stores did not disclose their tax statements.
