I recently received four $5 coupons from Stop & Shop in acknowledgment of the “stress and inconvenience” I suffered from the strike two weeks ago.

But the stress and inconvenience I suffered is nothing to that suffered by Stop & Shop employees. For that reason, I’m giving my coupons to the UFCW. I recommend that any reader who feels the same way should do so too — just give it to a shop steward at any store.

The management values my loyalty to Stop & Shop. I am loyal to the chain. I’ve been loyal because it’s a union shop.

Unions made America great. They’re doing it again.
