With 10,000 customers already backing the Fair Checkout campaign and polls showing most shoppers won’t cross picket lines, the union warns Sobeys that a strike could lead to empty shelves, higher prices, and lost business. Workers prefer staying on the job, but Sobeys’ push for cost-cutting—including store closures and legal moves to undo past gains—has escalated tensions. Bargaining resumes Sept 15–17 in Edmonton as public pressure mounts, with shoppers ready to stand with workers amid rising costs and corporate profits.
