So the Union is demanding higher wages,, is that why they're on strike? And when Wally World opens these new Super Centers and business slacks of at the Unionized Supermarkets and there are layoffs, are we suppose to cry bitter tears for the people who went on strike to demand an increase of business expenses for their employer?

So the Union is demanding higher wages,, is that why they're on strike?

What is at stake for the union is the desire by the companies to set a two-tier wage rate: new hires start at a lower starting rate of pay. Union leadership do not like this even if it leaves present employees unaffected.

Employees striking on this issue are taking a big stand for the union.
