STOP AND SHOP IS GOING ON STRIKE DONT SHOP THERE OR PASS THE PICKET LINE
When I worked for Bradless - One of the Stop & Shop companies - we where in a shopping center with Stop and Shop, Medimart and Charles B. Perkins tobacco. In fact our truck had all four names on their sides.
[edit] Strike
Added the current event of the strike situation. Feel free to add on, but please cite your sources. Tommy 15:26, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
The language, "In an attempt to avoid paying for healthcare, Union workers threatened to strike" was misleading, imho. The workers already pay a portion of their healthcare by way of copays. I think it's more accurate to say that they're trying to maintain their current contract language with respect to the health benefit. 131.229.221.127 15:42, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
I understand your wording much better, thank you for correcting me. Tommy 15:59, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:SandSnew.jpg
Image:SandSnew.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:25, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Healtch care / wages
I removed the paragraph about wages and healthe care; it was mainly stating how much the workers now make, and what their benefits are since the strike was averted...doesn't belong in an encyclopedia entry about the store chain. 17:38, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
- I disagree. My immediate reaction upon reading that a contract resolution was reached was to wonder what the terms were. To me, this provides context for the labor dispute. I do find it overly detailed for that purpose, though, and don't see where it benefits from being its own section. -Stellmach 17:44, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
