Chicago Grocery Workers Sack Union

Late last week, the fight [1] by Treasure Island Foods grocery workers to kick the unwanted UFCW union out of all six Chicago-area stores officially ended [2] in the employees' favor.

In July, Wilmette store manager Dan Schalin told a major Chicago newspaper:

"People felt that the union wasn't looking out for them. They weren't earning our union dues."

However, as explained [3] last week, decertification elections like those won by the employees in Chicago are uphill battles and no substitute for passing a Right to Work law in combatting compulsory unionism abuse.
