Week 5 Begins
We enter our fifth week of protest and boycott with our resolve stronger than at any other point. Today was deadline day for many who received threatening letters and when we showed up to the Tewksbury rally site this morning we were not surprised to see that all of those people were already there. Their bravery in standing up for something they believe, in the face of corporate intimidation, is inspiring. We all started this with a united sense of purpose to achieve one thing: bring back ATD. Such a simple message. For every single one of us it was and is a personal fight. While it has become a public spectacle from coast to coast, for those of us involved it remains the same
We could not maintain our pace if it were not for our customers. When we emerge victorious and the dust has settled and we have the luxury of looking back on all of this, the most amazing part will be the starring role that they played. We have always known that the relationship between us was strong but it had never been tested. At first the support was verbal but then it quickly turned into emails and questions of “what can we do?” and then a full fledged front was opened up by them. They boycotted. Think of how mind blowing that is in this day and age. Think of the inconvenience they took upon themselves to travel further and spend more. While we felt tremendous thanks for them when they initiated this, we soon realized that their role in this was natural…They ARE MARKET BASKET! Our culture, our family includes them.
As week five starts, our family is stronger than ever. The dynamic of who we are has changed for the better forever. When we get back to work we will all see each other in a different light and we will represent a brand that is the best in the country, not just in the supermarket industry but in all of the business world. We will have tremendous pressure to be better than ever and we promise you that we will be. We will rebuild from the mess that ASD, F&G and the BOD have created and we will welcome all who come by to see what all the fuss is about. We desperately look forward to going back to the jobs that we love and the company that is our home. We are certain it will happen and we have the strength and resolve to see this protest through until it does.
We will never be able to express our thanks to our customers enough for their support.
