Informational pickets aren't intended to block access, they're pretty much just what they sound like - an opportunity to engage and to educate the public on bargaining issues.

Ed Murray has shopped at QFC for 29 years? Is he running for mayor of Cincinnati? There's a great worker-owned local grocery store on 16th and Madison.
@4, thank you. @5, he didn't say he only shopped at QFC, did he? My recollection is that for most of those years Ed lived two blocks away from it. It was practically his corner store. By contrast, back then what you know as Madison Market was still Central Co-op, and was on 12th, with a fantastic vibe but much more limited range of products than today.
It's odd that McGinn would picket at that Safeway store when the Fred Meyer on 85th is so much closer to his home. Or did he not want to picket where he eats ?

If you voted for Obama, you voted for that.
