Rite Aid Wrong Way Demo
California Alliance for Retired Americans (CARA) unites retired workers and community groups to win social and economic justice. Members of CARA demonstrated in solidarity with the International Longshore and Warehouse Union at a Rite Aid store at the corner of Van Ness and Market Streets on October 13.
CARA says: "Rite Aid markets to seniors with its *Living More* program. They want our money, but they don't always want to respect workers' rights. And they're not respecting the union in bargaining."

The purpose of the rally was to bring public attention to the harassment and
unfair labor practices of the Rite Aid distribution center in Lancaster, CA.
The ILWU represents the workers there, after a hard fought organizing drive,
but management won't negotiate with them now and is harassing those folks
active with the union. More info coming up in Part III of this story. thanks for your
interest!
