Around Easter last year the UFCW union went on strike with something like 30k grocery employees in CT, MA and RI. They used the same scare tactics and everything. They got really pissed off when the company published on their website their contract proposal which showed the BS the Union was pushing.
Turns out those "outrageous" insurance increases were like $10 more/week or something like that. After that the public started to not care as much about how "horrible" the company was. Naturally once they settled they fed the "without us, you would have been in the poor house" BS to the "brothers and sisters" and claimed the things the company posted were wrong but never provided supporting documentation. Naturally, the "unions are our saviors" types ate it hook, line and sinker."
