Safeway workers’ strike rapidly expands to more cities
The Safeway/Alberstons workers' strike is quickly gaining momentum, as employees join together to fight against understaffing, insufficient wage increases, and inadequate health benefits.
Massive protests, strikes, and boycotts seem to have some invisible, magnetic force that just draws people to join. That’s because a sense of justice lies within us all, and we can relate to the awful feeling of being treated unfairly.
Massive protests have been taking down unwanted regimes for centuries. Protests don’t need to be violent to be powerful and successful. One of the greatest examples of peaceful protests that inspired many and made a huge impact is the salt march led by Mahatma Gandhi in 1930, during Britain's colonial occupation of India.
