Shaw's strike is over

If you've been boycotting Shaw's and Star Market because of the strike, you can go back now:

Shaw's strike ends

About four months after more than 300 warehouse workers at Shaw's Supermarkets Inc. walked off their jobs, they have reached an agreement with the supermarket chain over pay and health benefits.

Workers at the Shaw's Metheun distribution center have ratified a four-year contract that effectively ends the strike that began March 8, a day after workers rejected a contract that they say would have resulted in the loss of $28 per week, or about $1,456 annually for people on the family health insurance plans.

Thanks for the update! I actually do need some stuff from there, now that I think of it.

Finally! Grocery shopping hasn't been convenient in months.

Thanks for posting this!

It's been a hassle shopping elsewhere, I'm glad I can go back :)

Although I live closer to both Shaw's and Star Market, I have been enjoying the charm and savings of Market Basket quite a bit more in recent months.

Awesome! It's just down the block and open 24 hours. I've been staying away for months.
