'Macy's and its CEO have raked in huge profits while the workers have been crushed by rising inflation,' says UFCW5, many of whose San Francisco Macy's workers are on strike.
"Nobody wants to go on strike at Christmas time," said one worker,"but after six months of management stalling and refusal to make an offer that recognizes the hard work that we do... we don't have much choice."Hundreds of workers at Macy's San Francisco flagship store walked off the job Friday amid the last-minute holiday shopping rush for a two-day strike demanding better pay, healthcare, and working conditions.
Workers at Macy's Union Square store went on strike after contract negotiations between members of the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 5 and the retail giant—which "What the company is offering is completely insufficient to what the workers had to go through for the last three years," Nunes said."The wages are inadequate. The healthcare is really bad."
