Prayers pit Safeway vs. union By Jessica Guynn, CONTRA COSTA TIMES
PINOLE - Dozens of workers stopped bagging groceries and stocking shelves for several hours to attend Good Friday services held by clergy with strong ties to organized labor despite a warning from Safeway Inc. that the supermarket chain would hold their unions responsible for economic damages.
In a sharply worded letter to Bay Area grocery union leaders, Safeway accused the unions of using religion to play politics. The supermarket claims the interfaith services were thinly disguised labor rallies that did not meet the 'scope and spirit' of a contract provision which allows grocery workers to take off three hours with pay on Good Friday for religious worship.------------------------------------------- posted 7:07 PM :: reference link ::
