You are a creep for crossing the picket line
Why?
When you accept a job (read: agree to sell your labor) for a stated wage and stated benefits, you are forgoing other opportunities to do so elsewhere. When businesses decide to renig on thier end of the bargain it is unfair to the employees who agreed to the previous terms. Regardless of whether you think that $17.50/hr + paid benefits is too much for someone to make at a grocery store, they shouldn't have promised that to thier employees if they couldn't come through on the deal. Do you think that the employees could get away with deciding that they are going to do less work? Of course not, and the bisuness shouldn't get away with these shenanigans either.
As for my "creep" comment, when we see people sticking up for themselves agianst unfair treatment we should take our business elswhere to show solidarity for them. To walk right past them and patronize the business shows that you are an apathetic and don't care for your fellow man.
its not that i don't care, it because i DON'T support them. i've been going to the grocery store more now, 1 because the lines are less, and 2 to show that i support the market and not the picketers. i really want all of them to never get re-hired.
these people are not teachers that are grossly underpaid and underappreciated. these people are cashiers that overestimate their value.
