California grocery strike is on

A contract that covers 70,000 workers for 3 different grocers in So.California has expired. Negotiations broke down because Grocers are seekingconcessions to compete with non union (read Wal-Mart) competetors and alsodue to the rising costs of health care. They have chosen to strike Vons. TheUFCW had the nerve to request that Ralphs and Albertsons, who operate underthe same contract, not lock out their employees. Ralphs and Albertsons haveindicated that they will INDEED lock out their employess and a show ofsolidarity. I HOPE THE GROCERS SMASH THE UFCW. I will be crossing picketlines at my earliest convenience and giving picket holders a big smile as Icome out with a basket full of groceries.

I asked Global support about this and they said I could open the hole just a little. However, it seems like it needs a lot more than "a little". Has anyone else tried this or done something different?

Thanks, Bob
