"I'm fine with paying my fair share for health care coverage, but they are demanding to reduce our benefits while making us pay more. I'm really upset because they know how hard we work, and that we need to support our families." --Angelica Medina with her daughter Jasmine. Angelica has worked at Albertson's for three years.
"My husband is self-employed and we have four kids so we count on my health benefits. With what they are offering, they'll be taking money away from us. I was going to retire in seven years but with their offer I'll not be able to retire for another 17 years. This is a laborious job, by that time I'll be too old to do this. --Christie Carralejo has worked 25 years for Ralphs.
"These companies always say how important the employees are. If we're so valuable, why are they treating us like this? The CEOs are making millions, but they want to cut costs by taking away from us." --Aisha Page with her son Life. Aisha has worked for Albertson's for eight years.
"The benefit reduction with increased costs is the same as a pay cut since most people count on the benefits we have now. It would put me in a financial bind. I've been loyal, responsible and faithful to this company, never have I been out sick, and this is how they treat us."
--Mona Hernandez has worked for Albertson's for 17 years.
