My mother was told that grocery stores in the Pacific Northwest are going on strike this weekend.
She was told this by another tenant who has a son who works for a Fred Myers distribution center who told his mother this.
My mother and I feel this is probably a rumor but I am curious if anyone else has heard this?
Yes, I know this sounds conspiracy type but it seems these days that is what we are living in.

(4,787 posts)Apparently, their union contracts expire this weekend. The Teamsters are reporting it on their website, so it's likely more than a rumor.
