During the strike there was more then just competition with employees but also with shoppers. Students say they chose to shop at Aldi and Shop Rite during the strike forcing Stop and Shop to loose business.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\n  sqs-gallery-container\n  sqs-gallery-block-slider\n  \n  \n  \n  \n\n  \n    \n    \n  \n  sqs-gallery-block-show-meta\n  \n  \n\n  \n  \n\n  \n  block-animation-none\n  clear\"\n  \n  \n><\/p>\n<div class=\"sqs-gallery\">\n<p>              <noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hqnn.org\/hqpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-25-at-3.53.35-PM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2019-04-25 at 3.53.35 PM.png\" \/><\/noscript><img class=\"thumb-image\" data-src=\"http:\/\/hqnn.org\/hqpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-25-at-3.53.35-PM.png\" data-image=\"http:\/\/hqnn.org\/hqpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-25-at-3.53.35-PM.png\" data-image-dimensions=\"635x418\" data-image-focal-point=\"0.5,0.5\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2019-04-25 at 3.53.35 PM.png\" data-load=\"false\" data-image-id=\"5cc211a5ee6eb007fe7ea1dc\" data-type=\"image\" \/><\/p>\n<p>              <noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hqnn.org\/hqpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-25-at-3.53.58-PM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2019-04-25 at 3.53.58 PM.png\" \/><\/noscript><img class=\"thumb-image\" data-src=\"http:\/\/hqnn.org\/hqpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-25-at-3.53.58-PM.png\" data-image=\"http:\/\/hqnn.org\/hqpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-25-at-3.53.58-PM.png\" data-image-dimensions=\"590x390\" data-image-focal-point=\"0.5,0.5\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2019-04-25 at 3.53.58 PM.png\" data-load=\"false\" data-image-id=\"5cc211a50d9297cd8aea54cc\" data-type=\"image\" \/><\/p>\n<p>              <noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hqnn.org\/hqpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-25-at-3.58.31-PM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2019-04-25 at 3.58.31 PM.png\" \/><\/noscript><img class=\"thumb-image\" data-src=\"http:\/\/hqnn.org\/hqpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-25-at-3.58.31-PM.png\" data-image=\"http:\/\/hqnn.org\/hqpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-25-at-3.58.31-PM.png\" data-image-dimensions=\"269x159\" data-image-focal-point=\"0.5,0.5\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2019-04-25 at 3.58.31 PM.png\" data-load=\"false\" data-image-id=\"5cc211a66e9a7f3e10da9dfb\" data-type=\"image\" \/><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cI usually shop at Stop and Shop to get my groceries,\u201d said Quinnipiac student Emily Dryzgual. \u201cBut because they were on strike last week I went to Shop Rite which I guess is bad for their business because all the students are shopping at their competitors now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Shop Rite offers more then just health insurance coverage to their employees and includes a competitive 401 (k), auto home and pet insurance and tuition reimbursement. The Stop and Shop workers on strike included cashiers, stockers, bakers, deli clerks and butchers. During the strike, Stop &amp; Shop employees argued that the chain\u2019s parent company, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aholddelhaize.com\/\" title=\"\">Ahold Delhaize<\/a>, reported profits of more than $2 billion to its shareholders last year, and could afford to compensate workers better.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Democratic presidential candidates including Senator Bernie Sanders and Senator Elizabeth Warren supported the workers through out the strike.
