Market Basket workers are NOT returning to work today!

Today marks the deadline for Market Basket employees to return to work before the company begins seeking replacement workers through a series of job fairs. But with protesters still picketing outside Market Basket stores and headquarters, the showdown shows no signs of resolution.

At least 14 part-time Market Basket workers accepted positions at Hannaford supermarkets over the weekend, a sign that the three-week standoff is beginning to take a financial toll on employees as well as the supermarket chain.

Hannaford confirmed the hirings Monday, saying it would welcome additional Market Basket workers looking for a permanent job change or just temporary employment until the labor dispute is resolved.

George Barker, the owner of Barker Farm in North Andover, sells about $60,000 worth of corn a year to Market Basket and had a crop ready to pick when the chain seized up. With those stores unable to buy his corn, Barker said he finally struck a deal to sell much of the harvest to the Whole Foods chain — at a slightly higher price than what Market Basket had paid — and would not be in a position to take new orders from his old customer.

“I have other commitments now, so I wouldn’t be able to do that,” Barker said. “Before Whole Foods contacted me, I was in deep trouble.”

ANDOVER — Market Basket employees remained defiant Monday, refusing to return to work despite management threats they would be replaced and holding a boisterous demonstration at a company job fair, where few applicants showed up.

Negotiations over a possible sale of the company, meanwhile, failed to produce any sign of a deal. Arthur T. Demoulas, whose ouster as company president spurred the job actions, has offered to buy the shares of rival family members. But the board, controlled by his cousin, Arthur S. Demoulas, has said only that it is evaluating bids from multiple suitors

At Market Basket rally, workers keep up support
By Jack Newsham | GLOBE CORRESPONDENT AUGUST 05, 2014
Thousands of protesters attended a rally at a Market Basket in Tewksbury as workers continued to show their support for ousted president Arthur T. Demoulas.

Steve Paulenka, one of the protest organizers, addressed the crowd Tuesday and urged employees to stay strong.

“It’s the co-CEOs’ fault,” Paulenka told the crowd. “It’s Arthur S. Demoulas’s fault. They could have ended this.”

The Market Basket standoff has now gone on for several weeks.

“I didn’t think it would go on this long,” said Katrina Kennedy, a bakery worker at a Market Basket in Haverhill who attended the rally.

Kennedy sounded a defiant note as she referred to the company’s new management.

One galvanizing moment occurred last month when the CEOs fired eight high-ranking employees who led pro-Arthur T. demonstrations. Despite their decades of service, the workers were not called into an office or even dismissed over the phone — termination letters and no-trespassing orders were delivered by courier to their homes on a weekend.

Such actions, seen as cold-blooded, make it easy for Market Basket employees to demonize Gooch and Thornton, said Erik Gregory, who directs the organizational and leadership psychology program at the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology.

Market Basket is eliminating work hours altogether for thousands of part-time employees because of the steep drop-off in business that has followed the stand-off between rival factions of the Demoulas family, which owns the supermarket chain.

Managers at multiple Market Basket stores said most of their part-time employees will not have any hours to work next week; in New Hampshire alone, Gov. Maggie Hassan estimated that Market Basket has some 8,000 part-time employees, and that those who end up not working could be eligible to collect unemployment benefits.

“My part-time force has been eliminated entirely,” said store manager Matthew Matson.

The cut in hours was the result of a directive to store managers from company executives that employee work schedules must reflect the flow of business at the supermarkets. And with aisles of empty shelves in the fresh food departments and few to no customers, there isn’t much business to support a typical payroll of hundreds of employees at each of the chain’s stores.

In a statement, the company’s co-chief executives, James Gooch and Felicia Thornton, said none of the workers are being laid off and they still remain employees of Market Basket.

The statement from Gooch and Thornton issued through a spokesman said:

In Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley has established a hotline to help Market Basket employees with their work situation.

Some Demoulas part-timers have taken jobs at other supermarkets, including Hannaford Bros. Co.

Meanwhile, Hannaford’s parent, Belgium-based Delhaize Group, is offering to buy part or all of Market Basket, which competes with it in markets throughout New England, said people familiar with the negotiations. The offer is competing with the bid of Arthur T. Demoulas, the ousted president, who is trying to buy out his relatives and regain control of the company.

Arthur T. Demoulas was fired in June by the company’s board of directors, which is controlled by his cousin and rival, Arthur S. Demoulas Arthur T. has not offered to sell the 49.5 percent owned by his side of the family.

Market Basket’s board of directors has only said it is evaluating several offers. A spokesman for Hannaford could not be reached for comment.

The competition could make it more difficult for Arthur T. to regain control of the business, especially given his strained relationship with Arthur S. and other relatives who have rebuffed his efforts to reach a sale agreement and repair its operations.

BrotherBart said:

Ah the grocery business. I came to work one morning and their were nine identical rent cars parked in the headquarters parking lot. When I went inside everybody in the executive wing was gone with new faces in their chairs. The axe stopped exactly at the office next to mine coming down the hall. Ended up with a nice raise but within two years my job was going around selling the stores when they shut the place down.

180 stores went bye bye.
