A very long grocery strike ends in SoCal but what has really ended is union strength. The refusal of unions to do balls out organizing of COSTCO and WalMart means that eventually all market jobs will be low wage dead end or entry level jobs. The unions have only themselves to blame because they refused to organize. They also failed to put on a real strike and close down every market so the public would instantly become involved, another sign of the pathetic weakness of organized labor. When large corporations really have their backs against the wall they have to fight, and when they do fight nothing less than complete labor solidarity will work. Life in the Big City.
