If Kroger acquires Albertsons for $24.6 billion, California’s consumers and workers will face negative impacts.
Yesterday, Rob joined a bipartisan coalition of attorneys general and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to file a lawsuit to stop the $24.6 billion merger between Kroger and Albertsons.
Consumers would get a rotten deal if the two largest supermarket chains in the country are allowed to merge into one: the reduced competition would mean fewer choices and higher prices for shoppers. In some Southern California communities, it could become the ONLY one-stop grocery store option.
Not only will it harm consumers, but it could leave workers with less employment opportunities and worse working conditions, and create negative impacts for farmers.
Rob is fighting this corporate consolidation to protect families and workers across California: Will you let him know you have his back by making a grassroots donation of $5 or more before Thursday’s fundraising deadline?
