"Tom Rogers, a striking shop steward at Stop & Shop, said customers at the grocery chain’s 235 Old Connecticut Path location have been few and far between. And when customers do approach the store, pickets encourage them to shop elsewhere.
“We try to engage the customer and tell them what we’re fighting for, and tell them to support us by not crossing the picket line,” said Rogers, 39, of Natick, on Friday afternoon, the ninth day that about 31,000 employees from five unions at Stop & Shop have been on strike.
Rogers, who has worked for the Quincy-based grocery chain for 20 years, added that he and his colleagues have managed to convince most customers to rethink where to shop.

“Baker’s approval ratings routinely land near 70 percent, a remarkable feat for a Republican leading a famously liberal state. He’s earned that favor with a quiet bipartisanship that feels almost foreign these days,” Fortune wrote of the Swampscott Republican who was elected to a second term in November with 67 percent of the vote. “A data-driven fixer - he previously led the turnaround of a health insurer - Baker has been effective in addressing the state’s opioid woes and issues with social services; he also signed a green energy bill last year.”Continue reading the article online (subscription may be required)
