    CWA Gives $100,000 to Support Striking California Grocery Workers PRNewswire/ The Communications Workers of America
    "Their fight is our fight," CWA President Morton Bahr said. "The grocery chains are among many profitable companies that are slashing health benefits for working families across the country. There's no question that health care costs are rising, but simply shifting more costs to workers does nothing to fix the problem."

    State AG sues grocery chains over aid pact Sacramento Business Journal
    The suit includes claims against Food 4 Less, a chain owned by Cincinnati-based The Kroger Co., which is not embroiled in the Southern California labor fight that began in October but was a part of the Mutual Strike Assistance Agreement.

    It also accuses the Kroger-owned Ralphs chain, Albertson's Inc. of Boise, Idaho, and Pleasanton-based Safeway Inc. -- which owns Vons and Pavilions stores -- of antitrust violations.
