Former Vice President Joe Biden tells striking Stop & Shop workers: 'Don't give up.'
in Boston on Thursday, former Vice President Joe Biden said he is "sick" of how their employer is making billions of dollars while treating employees like they don't matter.
"And let me get something straight with you all, Wall Street bankers and CEOs did not build America. You built America. We built America. Ordinary middle-class people built America and, guys, that's not hyperbole. That's just a simple fact." The company, however, says that under its proposal, workers' wages would rise and remain above the industry average. Stop & Shop, owned by Dutch supermarket giant Ahold Delhaize, would cover at least 92% of health care premiums for family coverage and 88% for individual coverage, according to the proposal.The company says workers would see the health care premiums they pay rise from $2 to $4 a week.
