UFCW Local 1500 is standing up to the A&P/Pathmark company and is asking its executives to close stores on Christmas Day. Our members have faced a very stressful and difficult year and this is not the time to be taking away a holiday that should be spent with their families. "A&P/Pathmark ended up in bankruptcy because of poor decisions by former management. Hopefully current management will not follow in their footsteps and respect their workers, their customers and the spirit of the Christmas season and keep these stores shut"- Secretary Treasurer Anthony Speelman.
Below is the letter written to the A&P/Pathmark executives.UFCW Local 1500 will hand bill company stores this week urging the public to contact A&P/Pathmark management and express their disapproval. Another way of showing your support is to sign and share this petition to show your solidarity. By signing this petition you will be helping thousands of Local 1500 members get the chance to spend Christmas with their families.
