Union Busting at Rite Aid

Companies aren't supposed to attack workers who want a union,
but Rite Aid and other employers are doing it every day. When
650 workers at Rite Aid's distribution center in Lancaster, CA,
wanted to join a union to address problems like sweltering heat
in the warehouse, the company threatened and fired them.

The federal government was preparing to charge Rite Aid with 49
labor law violations, but let the company off with a slap on the
wrist. After workers prevailed and voted to join the
International Longshore and Warehouse Union last March, Rite Aid
continued the attacks. Now the company is refusing to sign a
first contract and has hired an anti-union consulting firm to
guide the company through the decertification process. This
situation at Rite Aid is a perfect example of why passing the
Employee Free Choice Act is so important.

We can't let Rite Aid succeed in its attempt to rob their
workers of their right to collectively bargain. Please call or
email today and tell Rite Aid CEO Mary Sammons it's time for
Rite Aid to do the right thing: Respect workers rights, stop
union busting, and sign a fair agreement.
