Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson filed a lawsuit to block Albertsons' $4 billion shareholder payout ahead of the Kroger merger, after the company previously declined aFerguson argued the "special dividend" will undercut Albertsons' ability to compete while government regulators scrutinize the merger.
The senators say the merger could lead to store closures and layoffs, as well as food deserts in the state. "The cash dividend could adversely impact the ability of Albertsons to keep its stores open and its workers employed should the merger with Kroger not be approved. Specifically, we are alarmed by reports that the merger may involve selling hundreds of stores, potentially resulting in layoffs," the senators wrote.
Kroger cuts very little meat. I am cutter, for 20 years, along with 40 other cutters in Seattle Safeway albtsns district..Krogers program will likely send us on our way as cutting goes to their pre pack program, hiring some kid min wage to fill the case. This will ruin lives..
Yeah it would lead to insane price gouging.
We don’t have leaders in Washington. We have sheepie Doomsayers. Prove me wrong.
“Doom, it’ll be doom”!!! When have we heard that before? Oh yeah, the last 3 years. “If we let them fly unmasked it’ll be “Doom”! Right. “Standing closer than 6 feet= “Doom”! C’mon man.
