STOP SAFEWAY'S ATTACK ON EMPLOYEES
Safeway is a grocery corporation with a multi-million dollar profit margin. On their website for investors (linked at the bottom of Safeway.com) it shows their NET profit for 2011 was $589.8 million dollars. Yet they want to take food out of their own employee's mouths, and money out of their pockets. They are taking away full time work hours, no longer paying a fair portion of medical benefits by pushing the total cost on to their already slashed employee's pay, then taking away holiday pay and overtime. Safeway wants to be "The Company Store" from the early nineteen hundreds with broken wage slaves who work inconsistent schedules for terrible pay. They've proven this by what they put in their contract and handed over to the union at the bargaining table this month.
They know their employees are on fragile budgets and few can afford to strike, so they have the strength and the ability to pressure their union into a strike that will only hurt their workers further, and possibly cause them to collapse and agree to the unfair and unbalanced contract. Striking just won't do! Their employees want to work for fair and livable wages.
YOU CAN HELP THEM!
Please sign this petition stating that you do not support Safeway's intent to cut their employees down, and that you will boycott them indefinitely until a fair and employee friendly contract is presented.
If you wish to state a written or verbal complaint the corporate and Northern California headquarters contact information is below.
Thank you for your support and participation!

Why is this important?
Safeway just went to the bargaining table with some of it's unions in Northern California. The contract presented takes away full time "status", (even if they work a full eight hours, they won't receive full time employee benefits) overtime, holiday pay, and any medical care costs would be paid as a whole by the employees themselves with no aid from Safeway at all. Most of their employees, like many of us, have families to support and cannot lose pay during a strike lest their families go hungry. As a customer, and a non-Safeway employee I am outraged and calling on my fellow labor supporters to help these people before SAFEWAY becomes SLAVEWAY!
