With the FTC's blessing, Haggen, a small supermarket chain in the Northwest with just 18 locations, bought 146 of the former Albertsons and Safeway stores, including the one where Martinez worked. Problems emerged quickly.
Martinez's store closed. She and dozens of her co-workers lost their jobs. Her store wasn't the only location that Haggen struggled to manage. The grocer expanded more than eight-fold essentially overnight, and couldn't absorb the stores it acquired. "It brought back a lot of fear and anxiety," she said. "My co-workers are feeling anxious. They're hearing that Kroger is going to have to divest. Everyone is worried it will be their store."
To address antitrust concerns that the merger will stifle competition in local markets where they overlap, Kroger and Albertsons plan to divest stores.
True
If the unions say that, it probably means it would be better for consumers.
I agree a 1000%
anything unions say is always propaganda. Same as politicians.

They are the same co. An increasingly monopolized retail food supply will be a bad bad thing for everyday people… and small farmers too. I blame Earl Butz.
