[lbo-talk] decentralization, Whole Foods style

[Brian O. Sheppard]

Jim, you might want to take a look at some of the individual stores in
your area. There's a Kroger's a few miles from me (in Dallas) that's
unionized by the UFCW. I don't recall if this is announced anywhere in
the store, but in Tucson I came across an Albertson's that bore a union
bug on one of the windows near the entrance. It's hard for me to imagine
that there's no unionized grocery store in all the Austin area. Call up
the local UFCW offices, etc.
