For those looking to participate in the community boycott starting May 1st
-
We are boycotting Loblaw and Loblaw owned stores for the entire month of May 2024 (obviously you can boycott past this point in time)
-
We are asking for a reduction in prices by 15%
-
We are asking Loblaw remove “member only pricing” where customers are forced to sign up for a PC optimum card in order to receive sale prices
-
If shopping is taking place at Loblaw stores, we are focusing on purchasing loss leaders
Very easy for me as I generally shop at Costco and sometimes Save On Foods (the British Columbia one rather than the Alberta one with a bootlicking union). Problem is both have already instituted “member price”.
As an Albertan that shops at Save On, can you elaborate a bit on that?

Now despite what the above article says, Alberta saveonfoods are CLAC Local 301, BC saveonfoods are UFCW Local 1518
Interesting - thanks!
