Market Basket Boycott is affecting the local farmers

Why was the CEO fired? What do the employees expect to happen as a result of their strike?

I can't remember why he was fired , I guess they think by going on strike the CEO will get his job back. I do all my shopping at MB we only have 2 stores

I'm sorry that your store is on strike. That makes it rough since you don't have other stores. We have food stores all over the place here, Food Lion, Bi-Lo, Walmart, Piggly Wiggly, Harris Teeter, Publix, Sam's, etc.

I hate having to walk through a strike but I need to go shopping and if the protesters are there and do not like it they can pay for difference it will cost me to shop at Shaw's. I could drive to NH to shop at Wal Mart but I do not like shopping there .
 
I went to MB today and they had no produces or chicken and the shelves are getting bare . People where coming to shop not realizing a boycott is going on and shocked to find no veggies . I brought the last 2 sweet onions and had to go to Shaw's to by some bananas and romaine lettuce and another person asked me 'Where is all the food ?" This boycott is a wakeup call to people , they really needs to stay informed about what is going on , people had no idea the shelves are cleaned off by people buying to stock up.
 
I went to MB Saturday and the meat and produce were pretty bare. They had a petition going in the store and they were making announcements constantly.
 
I usually buy meat and produce at Hannaford, so the bare shelves didn't bother me too much. But I do most of the rest of my shopping at MB. There are Shaws and Stop n Shop near me but I don't care for either of those stores.

We only have Market Basket or Shaw's and a Wal Mart in NH . I had to buy chicken at Shaw's today and their parking lot was full only b/c of MB being boycott. A lot of people are not happy about having to shop at Shaw's b/c they cost so much more. MB employees want to shut all of MB stores down and that is going to hurt a lot of seniors that have health aides shopping or them . It going use up their food stamps or SS check real fast shopping at Shaw's. Shaw's is making killing of this , they had not been this busy since the holidays .

frostywolf , I think people finally realize what is going on b/c people pulling into Shaw's parking lot like they where giving food away. I wanted to buy some yams but they where all gone and the fruits are flying off the shelves b/c MB has none for about 5 days now .
 
You must be a bit closer to the coast than I am. I am just outside Lowell so luckily I'm close to Nashua and Hudson and there are a ton of stores that way. I don't think anyone around here is confused since the HQ is in our area. My FB feed is full of Arthur T supporters. The feud between the two sides of the Demoulas family is well known around here.

Yes , I live in a coastal city. I could got to Stop and Shop which is a little drive but they cost more than Shaw's . I wish the two families would think of how their feud is hurting their customers , after all we kept them in business for a long time .
 
I just saw on the news a local farmer is losing money b/c he sell most of his veggies to Market Basket . That is a real shame that the local farmers will be getting hurt in this boycott.
