Cordova pointed to multiple reports that the number of potential stores to be divested is “now somewhere up over 700.” The deal could also impact the union’s “ability to bargain because we’ll have one unionized employer in the state” in the grocery industry, Cordova added., which more than 100 state and national organizations formed in March to oppose the deal. The coalition urges the public to push the FTC to halt the merger, arguing that it reduces competition, limits the market for farmers and more.
