‘We’re really worried’: US supermarket mega-merger raises mass layoff fears

But many grocery workers who witnessed the 2014 and 2015 merger between Albertsons and Safeway sawNaomi Oligario worked at a Safeway store for 31 years in Port Orchard, Washington, when Albertsons acquired the company. Her store was divested and spun off under Haggen grocery stores. Employees were not allowed to transfer to a different store or they would lose their seniority and benefits that came with it.

As a shop steward with United Food and Commercial Workers, Oligario said many of her co-workers were concerned by the proposed merger of Kroger and Albertsons. “Kroger will not close any stores, distribution centers or manufacturing facilities as a result of this merger, including stores that may need to be divested to obtain regulatory approval.”Kyong Barry, a worker at Safeway in Auburn, Washington, for about 20 years and a UFCW board member, criticized the merger as a potential disaster for many workers, given many people’s prior experiences.

“The company told us that the merger was going to be really beneficial to its employees. They really made it seem like it was really a win-win, when, in fact, it was not,” said Martinez. “It was really traumatizing, really stressful.”

Oh well. If we allow our corrupt evil governments follow the WEF globalist great reset agenda then don’t complain.
