Many people actually think raising the minimum wage to $15 would be in the "best intentions" category, right?
But when CBO looked at a more modest raise to $10.10, they said it would cost 500,000 jobs. So those people who were "standing strong against corporate greed" were only potentially facilitating there own job loss. They may have been "committed" Salon, but they weren't very "thoughtful".ustomers boycotted Market Basket supermarkets to show support. Imagine if more people put their collective energy towards boycotting other businesses that do not represent the best intentions for employees, consumers, our nation or the environment. It also says something about a CEO who is highly respected. Koch Industries are you listening?
Congratulations to all the Non Union employees, families and customers who stood strong against corporate greed! Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.
Market Basket said in a statement late Wednesday that former CEO Arthur T. Demoulas would be returning to the company and that he and his management team would handle day-to-day operations while the purchase is completed.
Arthur T. Demoulas has reportedly made a $1.5 billion offer to buy out the part of the company controlled by his cousin, Arthur S. Demoulas.
Arthur T. Demoulas was ousted in June by a board of directors controlled by Arthur S. Demoulas, causing workers to stage protests. Hundreds of warehouse workers and drivers refused to deliver food to the chain's stores in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine, leading to empty shelves and tens of millions in lost revenue.
In a joint statement Wednesday, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick and New Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan said, "We are delighted that the parties have reached agreement on terms of sale and resolution of operating authority, so that employees can return to work and customers will once again be able to rely on these stores to meet their needs."
