Dear Local 791 members,
We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the outpouring of support and encouragement we have received since our termination on Wednesday morning February 28, 2007.
As the shock and amazement of everything that transpired that morning wears off, we are gathering our strength and conviction from the membership’s positive messages, phone calls and show of solidarity.
We are sure that the membership, as well as us, never thought that a “labor organization” would treat its own members (or staff employees) like this.
Apparently, the quote “an injustice to one, is an injustice to all” doesn’t apply to “all” of us.
We can’t help but wonder what the Union leadership’s reaction would be if the company had done this same thing to five members working in the stores or warehouses.
With the support and strength of the membership behind us, we are going to fight this injustice through all legal channels. We never quit on the membership in our positions as representatives of this local union and we are not going to quit in our fight to win our jobs back.
It has been a pleasure and a privilege to represent and serve the members of UFCW Local 791 and we look forward to representing you again in the very near future.
In Solidarity,
Bob Anderson, Lynette Chancholo, DJ Cronin, Mary McClay, Moose McClay
