Union games, anyone?

As you may have noticed, I'm not a big fan of retail workers in these parts. You may not know that I'm also not a big fan of Unions. I question their pertinence in today's society.

Be that as it may, a Union Local advertising campaing always equals negotiations.

I was intrigued enough by the Best Retail Workers billboard campaign that I surfed over to see what the contest survey was all about.

I like Union marketing campaigns about as much as marketing prescription medication.

Why would UFCW 1000A care so much about what we, the consumer think? It's obvious to me their members don't give a shit when they serve me.

To gather ammo, my friend. For without a survey, one has nothing to spin.

Local 1000A's contract expired July 1st.

So, next to the store actually having a variety of stock, what are the contest entrants saying is the most important influence on where they shop?

Price? No.
That employees feel like Management respects them? No.
It is in fact that staff are knowledgeable, courteous and friendly.

Perhaps one day both the Union and Management will actually heed what consumers tell them.
