The plan is facing increasing opposition from workers who say it will reduce competition, shutter neighborhood grocery stores, hike food prices and put more than 5,700 employees out of work.

Under the proposed agreement, Cincinnati-based Kroger would acquire Boise, Idaho-based Albertsons in a transaction that would join the nation’s two largest supermarket retailers.

“Economists have estimated that as many as 400 stores could close because of overlaps and 5,750 employees would lose their jobs,” said Judy Wood, who works as a cake decorator at an Albertsons in the city of Orange. “Money is the only motivation for these corporations.” Assemblyman Josh Lowenthal, D-Long Beach was among the supporters at Thursday’s rally at a Ralphs supermarket in Lakewood.

UFCW Local 324 President Andrea Zinder said it’s critical that they remain strong and united to protect workers, customers, food suppliers and local communities from “the disastrous effects of this merger.”
