..., 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?

What a hell kind of question is that? What's specialized training have
to do with supporting workers rights??? You do know that's what unions
do right?

-----------------------------------------------------

Because we've been lectured for years here in this newsgroup about how
only union workers are truly qualified and competent for the work that
they perform. Non-union labor is substandard in the eyes of some.
So, I am curious as to the special skill sets of union supermarket
employees.

There are two major supermarkets in my area, one is union and the other
is non-union. The kids, 16 to 18, don't want to work at the union store
due to the fact that even if they don't work during the course of a week
they are still obligated to pay their union dues. The major difference
between the two stores is that the unionized one has higher prices for
their goods than the non-unionized one.

The question becomes what special skill set does a 16 year old union
member posses in order to enable them to stock a shelf and run a cash
register. Presumably the union supermarket job requires more skill than
doing the same thing at the non-union supermarket and McDonald's.
