#1:
As working moms, we have to make sure our kids have the health care they need when they need it. Safeway employees sacrificed wage increases so the kids could have good medical coverage. Now Safeway wants to slash our health care—not because the company isn't making a profit—it wants more. I'm Lucy Medler a 20 year Safeway-Von's employee and a working mom. I'm asking you from my family to yours--don't shop Safeway while we're on strike.

Safeway's CEO Steve Burd recently sold about $20 million worth of company stock. Then, he forced me and 70,000 workers onto the streets in a fight to save our families' health benefits. We're out of work— shoppers have been inconvenienced -- and Safeway stock prices have taken a nose dive— but— Steve Burd is looking out for himself. It's time to turn the tables— I'm Kathy Shafer a 28-year Safeway Vons employee. Let's send Steve Burd message--don't shop Safeway when you see our picket lines.

#3:
It's just me and my mom at home now. We do great on our own but we need to be able to go to the doctor or buy medicine when we're sick. My mom's company Safeway makes money year after year but I guess it's not enough. Now they want to take away my health care. My name is James and Safeway forced my mom to strike for me. Please help us keep health care. Don't shop at Safeway while we're on strike.
