In the USA, we used to have union grocery stores.
It seems like every year we are loosing more union jobs than ever.
Safeway has always been a hated place to work, but it used to pay their employees a decent salary with benefits.
Now—they have a weird semi union status. They load up the stores with desperate people, and still manage to make them maybe the most angry workers I have seen. I overheard one manager tell an employee yesterday to drive to a store two hours away, and be there by 7:00 am! The employee just looked crushed. That kind of crap didn’t happen in union shops.
I guess the future will be self checkouts, security cams everywhere, and facial recognition to track.
