BRING IT ON!!
Monday (Aug. 4th) is decision day "for thousands of Market Basket workers who have been given the ultimatum of returning to work or being replaced.
The company planned the first of its job fairs after ordering its workers to return and restock the empty shelves that have kept customers away in droves."
The company's board of directors quickly dismissed an offer from ousted Market Basket CEO Arthur T. Demoulas who offered to return to work and bring his previous management team while he continues to negotiate to buy the company from rival family members.
"These steps are critical at this point and are in the best interests of associates, customers, vendors and shareholders," a public relations firm working on his behalf said.
Workers are planning a major rally in Tewksbury Tuesday, the day after management's deadline.
"Arthur T. has also offered to move immediately to return to work in advance of the completion of the stock purchase and work to bring back his full team to stabilize and begin to restore the business," the statement said.
The offer was rejected within hours after it was made Sunday night.
"The board fully supports the current management team in their efforts to ensure that Market Basket's normal business operations resume immediately for the benefit of its customers, associates, vendors and communities," a statement said.
GIBBERISH!
What the new CEOs don't seem to grasp is that no matter how many employees they hire or rehire, none of that matters if there are no customers to buy their products. As most Keynesian's know, it's consumer demand that drives an economy. This consumer continues to supply other stores with food/economic investments.
It's the customers!
