I will always be a Kroger hater for the way they used acquiring Harris Teeter to bust one of the UFCW locals in the Carolinas. This is just further hatred-flavored gravy on top of it.
Kroger is an OG villain. Surveillance, labor busting, weaponized underdevelopment. AND they don’t carry ham hocks hardly anymore.

My friend, Dolores Huerta, was living proof that anyone can rise above their station in life and change our country for the better.
She spent her life bringing working people together to fight for better wages, safer conditions, and dignity at work.
