Got Healthcare? Not if Safeway had its way!

Should you have to wait 37 months to qualify for health insurance at your job? That’s what Safeway wants supermarket workers to do.

More than 70,000 workers went on strike or were locked out because they believe workers shouldn’t have to wait 37 months for healthcare.

Meanwhile, corporate CEO Steve Burd dumped more than $24 million in company stock right before he forced workers out. He’s profiteering while others lose benefits.

Let’s show Safeway the Bay Area’s got solidarity.
