El Super has been under consumer boycott since December 2014, and its unionized workers have struck the company twice in protest of unfair labor practices. Jobs at El Super are beneath grocery industry standards and the federal government has issued multiple complaints, and a temporary injunction, against the company for violating the rights of workers who speak out in favor of higher standards.<\/p>\n<p>On January 22, a new El Super opened at 9320 Slauson Ave, Pico Rivera. This space was a Ralph\u2019s store, before it closed last October.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201c<\/strong>This will be a non Union store where workers have fewer protections and no voice at work.\u00a0Pico Rivera needs good, union jobs that uplift workers, their families and our community. We need grocery stores that preserve the quality job standards established at neighboring stores,\u201d said Andrea Zinder,\u00a0United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW) 324\u00a0Secretary Treasurer.<\/p>\n<p>Ralph\u2019s workers at this store had a good union contract that included guaranteed hours, family sustaining wages, adequate paid sick leave, and affordable family health care. The jobs at the Pico Rivera El Super are inferior in every way.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, Chedraui posted over $100 million (US) in profits, and El Super contributed more than a fifth of the company\u2019s net revenues.
