Late last week, the fight by Treasure Island Foods grocery workers to kick the unwanted UFCW union out of all six Chicago-area stores officially ended in the employees’ favor.
In July, Wilmette store manager Dan Schalin told a major Chicago newspaper:
"People felt that the union wasn’t looking out for them. They weren’t earning our union dues."
However, as explained last week, decertification elections like those won by the employees in Chicago are uphill battles and no substitute for passing a Right to Work law in combatting compulsory unionism abuse.
