On Tuesday, March 15, employees at eight area Giant Food stores were informed that their stores may be sold due to a corporate merger. Less than a week after hearing the news, we launched the #SaveMyStore campaign to bring together Giant employees, union members, and the communities we serve to save these stores. We can’t let a corporate merger in Europe take away good jobs and quality shopping options here at home.
In a matter of days, we have already collected more than 1,200 signatures on a petition to preserve the quality shopping, good jobs, and excellent customer service that we have come to expect from our local Giant grocery stores.
Today, we’re announcing a series of town hall meetings to discuss next steps. Giant Food employees, union members, customers, friends and neighbors are all invited to join us. With so many jobs at stake, together we will do whatever it takes to keep our communities intact.
RSVP for the Town Hall nearest you on Facebook. In the coming days, we’ll share more details about each town hall.
