(RightIsRight.co) – Leaving customers in the lurch just before Super Bowl weekend, grocery workers entitled employees abandoned their posts, threatening grocery supplies for hardworking Americans.
This week, King Soopers faced a massive walkout as union-backed employees initiated a two-week strike across 77 stores in metro Denver.
The United Food and Commercial Workers Local 7, a known agitator for socialist policies, orchestrated this assault on American business, affecting counties including Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, Jefferson, Boulder, and Louisville.
The timing of this strike is no coincidence. Union bosses deliberately chose to disrupt operations before Super Bowl LIX and Valentine’s Day, aiming to maximize damage to King Soopers’ profits.
King Soopers, demonstrating true corporate responsibility, has committed to maintaining food and pharmacy services despite this onslaught.
The company proposed a generous $180 million investment in wages, including a $4.50 wage increase over four years.
However, the union, in its insatiable greed, rejected this offer, claiming it affected retiree health benefits—a convenient excuse to extort more from a job-creating business.
“These days were intentional because the only thing they care about is profit, and we know how much these days mean to King Soopers,” Kim Cordova, president of the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union Local 7, said.
This statement by union president Cordova exposes the true motives behind this strike—not worker welfare but a calculated attack on American business.
King Soopers workers already earn an average hourly rate of $22.68, with healthcare and retirement benefits. Yet, it is never enough for these union parasites.
In addition, Colorado’s liberal Attorney General Phil Weiser filed an antitrust lawsuit to block a merger between Kroger and Albertsons, further interfering with free market operations.
King Soopers’ president Joe Kelley remarked on the strike’s intention, saying:
“The union’s call for a strike is not about wages, healthcare, or pensions. It is based on allegations we believe lack merit and have yet to be validated by the National Labor Review Board or any court.”
Ironically, he points out the baselessness of these strikes. The union’s unfounded claims of unfair labor practices are nothing more than a smokescreen for its real agenda—bleeding businesses dry and forcing hard-working Americans to pay the price.
As the days unfold, attention is fixed on these embattled workers. Their determination challenges not just a grocery giant but potentially sets a precedent for future labor movements.
