I had read some about this and it surprised me. I don’t know why except I guess because it was a cool place to shop with great products. We don’t have much shopping in Hood River so I liked going to Trader Joe’s in Portland. No more Trader Joe’s for me now.

I opened view in browser hoping I could print this from there and and only Karen's comment was ther to leave a comment after. I just went back tothe regular but I'llleave this here. Hi Karen.

I have gotten to know several TJ employees over the 23 years that I have been in Altadena and I talk with one in particular in La Canada, when it looks like he is helping me find something, so he doesn't rouse suspicions. He can't take time to talk at length about the union effort. Anyone looking at the security camera pic would know we weren't talking about where it almond butter is. I'm having trouble printing your post right now. I wanted to slip him a copy.

Where did you find the information you related? I have been having misgivings for a while now and am getting incomfortable shopping there, after being my prefered joint, like you, Tom, since the old one on Arroyo Parkway in Pasadena since 1972.

It’s sad when cool ideas and successful businesses do the dirty to employees. I’d be grateful for a list of businesses that don’t do this. I’m a ceramic artist and ship through Etsy. I started off buying boxes and shipping material from ULINE until I learned that their founder is a right winger. Im looking for a better alternative.

I agree Susan. I buy some things from Etsy. Are they part of ULINE? I hope not. I like buying from independent artists through them.
