Albertson's Grocery store is looking like it is in financial trouble. The new C.E.O. Larry Johnston has made some major negative changes impacting employees and thereby it's customers. Larry gets a percentage of whatever he saves the company. Larry got a $9,000, 000.00 bonus in 2001.
The employees sufferage is quite extensive. Many employees with 19 years were terminated less than one year from their goal of being fully vested in their retirement. Most new employees ride bicycles, busses, or walk because wages are so humiliatingly low.
New employees are cut so short on hours they have no benefits and many do not even see their first raise before termination. Overtime is not tolerated and some managers give employees alarm clocks to carry while working, so that they will not have any excuse that can avoid a "write-up".
Albertson's has closed over 600 stores. Albertson's has lost many of it's customers.
Albertson's employees do not become loyal.
Albertson's needs the union.
Please do not shop Albertson's unless they shape up, It is Larry's store not yours.
