UFCW asks union families to not shop Dierbergs new Lake Ozark non-union store

Osage Beach, MO – Dierbergs Markets has opened a non-union grocery store here and Region 5 of the United Food & Commercial Workers International Union wants every union family to help send a message to management that they won’t shop there as long as the store remains non-union.

And to make their point, Region 5:

• Is purchasing full-page ads in both the St. Louis Labor Tribune and the Kansas City Labor Beacon to alert families to this effort, one which the UFCW asks whether or not this is the first step towards Dierbergs considering the same thing in the St. Louis metro area where all its stores are represented by UFCW Local 655.

• Has begun handbilling at Dierbergs Lake store in the Lakeview Point Center.
