Anyone that is in the "know" please answer this question that I'm curious about.
If all the workers at the markets are union and on strike...who is in charge of hiring the non-union workers and keeping the stores running? Is upper management non-union?
If upper management is non-union, do you join the union work your way to the top to un-join?
I am genuinely curious about that? Please answer if you know the correct answer...thanks

I have not posted before and I will try now. Union stewardship and management are like "church and state". If you are a union memeber you are most likely not management and if you were a union memeber that made it through the ranks to be asked to become management most likely you would no longer be union. Each union is different and it would depend upon the group. Hope that helps.

The store manager and assistant store manager are non-union as well as anyone higher up. There are usually 3 or 4 "key carriers" or similar "front-end" or "customer service" managers that are union. When the strike or lock-out occurred, the store manager and assistant were left with all of the non-union help that they hired. All of the other union management (key carriers) are outside the store with the rest of the employees.

C-2 answers correctly to the best of my knowledge---which was what your question was. A friend of mine works for the grocery stores and he has since H.S., he's been asked to move into management many times but declines cuz of lost OT pay mostly, so he has stayed for years now at what he calls 3rd man at the store, one step below management and just works the cush hours.
Personally, unions have outlived their usefullness in todays society and in reading the Letters to Editor in my local newspaper shows that the general feeling of people feel the same way, for whatever thats worth.
BTW-nice to see you again Lindsey(aka wifey) You about to get that biz off the ground? I know someone you could contact who has done that before if you want some insight.(you know them too)
