..., Snotty. Finally a job for which you once had experience:


A leading supermarket chain in New England began recruiting *scabs* on
a
large scale this week as the union representing some 40,000 of its
workers girds for a potential strike later this month.Stop & Shop,
with
more than 250 grocery stores in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode
Island
and New Hampshire, opened 14 recruitment sites across the region with
the goal of hiring “replacement workers,” confirms company spokeswoman
Suzi Robinson. The recruits would replace members of five local units
of
the United Food & Commercial Workers (UFCW) union in the event of a
strike or lockout on February 24, when current collective bargaining
agreements expire.

Curious. What type of specialized training or apprenticeships are
required to be a union worker in a supermarket?




Which end of a mop goes down? How to flatten empty boxes. The art of bagging groceries without
crushing the bread. Stocking the right stuff in the right place on the shelves (comparison
stocking).

Hell, the list goes on and on. Didn't you work at a Safeway as a kid?
