Giving Thanks for Union Solidarity

Thanksgiving DaySixty workers extending picket lines to Washington, DC, celebrated Thanksgiving with their union family. Workers took a break from picketing to sit down together for a union family celebration.

Workers put up picket lines at Washington, DC area Safeway stores on Saturday, November 22—the first extension of lines outside of California. Picket lines are now up at 21 DC stores, as well as Safeway stores in San Francisco, Oakland, Hayward, San Mateo, Contra Costa, and Fresno.

More and more Safeway customers in these areas are choosing to shop elsewhere.  In Fresno, Local 1428 members turned away 160 shoppers at one store in just a single day.
