At 5 simultaneous events in 5 Puget Sound cities last Thursday, 150 union members distributed Share the Success yard signs and shared their stories with the press.
Grocery and retail workers across the Puget Sound — joined by workers from Los Angeles and Texas — spoke in one voice, calling on these profitable grocery chains to Share the Success with workers and our communities.
