Wow, some of the stuff in that job description sounds like things they should have been doing all along, like OSHA compliance.

It is quite appalling, however, to see that they list "union avoidance" as a priority for this position.

It is clear that the owners and management at Berkeley Bowl don't care about the workers at their store, and won't care about the workers at their new store, either.

Althought Berkeley Bowl is my closest "neighborhood" grocery store that has fresh organic food, I'm willing to shop less often and buy at Rainbow Grocery Coop in SF instead. The workers co-own the store, and of course they have benefits, a real sense of working together to run the store, etc.
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
