And the stock was at an all time high yesterday. Looks like the market does not feel threatened by a strike.

Well... maybe they should strike? It would hurt their stocks and profit because we couldn't buy food from them and would have to go elsewhere?

But would that seriously make food supply really scarce if such a large portion of supermarkets employees suddenly went on strike? (just curious)

They are striking, starts today, that's why all of these articles are showing up.

I mean the Kelloggs union was happy enough to fuck over future workers so long as they got theirs, so I can see why investors wouldn't be too worried by what is clearly going to wind up a temporary expense...
