BOSTON (WHDH) - Gov. Deval Patrick sent a letter to the CEOs of Market Basket on Friday, urging leaders to find a solution to the current conflict.

Patrick stated that the company's failure to resolve the matter has negatively impacted the lives of workers.

"I am appealing to you to consider as well the broader implications and impact of your decision and resolve it soon, so that economic peace is restored and the workers' future is secure," Patrick said.

4. One of the news stations did a report on a 94 year old who worked for MB for 21 years

His hours were cut and he now has no money to supplement his Social Security. That story seems to have made a huge impact.

6. Last night I answered a robo call, and I never answer them....

It was the usual, are you voting dem/gop (this was for Mass)...etc. One of the questions was about market basket, asking if this was an issue to voters.

I find that interesting! Thanks for the newest update, gray.
