    Irony strikes grocery labor disputes By MICHAEL RAPPAPORT
    Some employees already have been "going back.'' The union estimates it's no more than 1 percent of the 71,000 strikers, and the markets aren't speculating, but there is no question some strikers have crossed picket lines and returned to work.

    "The one that really hit us hard here was our picket captain,'' Solorzano said. "Everyone here looked up to here and she crossed the line. She said she did it because she was disappointed with the union and Vons had been good to her.''
