SOMERVILLE - U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat running for president in 2020, delivered donuts and coffee to picketing Stop & Shop workers in Somerville on Friday, and urged shoppers to take their business elsewhere.
Do not cross the picket line, Warren said. Understand people on the picket line are not just fighting for their families. Theyre fighting for all our families. Theyre fighting for basic fairness and equality in this country.
On Thursday, the unions representing 31,000 Stop & Shop workers across Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut voted to go on strike. Their contract expired in February, and they have been unable to reach a deal on a new one.
Warren shook hands with workers and encouraged them with a pro-union message.

(11,122 posts)3. What most people think of as the American Way of Life
is the product of the work and sweat and suffering and sacrifice of union organizers. Since the death of solidarity, we have become a diminished population.
But most people are ignorant of our debt to Unions.
