    A&P's approach to restructuring its labor obligations through bankruptcy law, including a plan to reject parts of its union contracts, poses a serious threat to worker rights. This move undermines established labor protections and echoes past exploitative practices, drawing justified pushback from union representatives who are prepared to contest further erosions of their members' rights.

    March 29

    A&P's management, by prioritizing a swift liquidation over protecting its pensioners, exhibited unethical labor practices. The abandonment of 21,000 pensioners and the decision to allow large underfunded pension plans, forcing federal intervention, reflect a disregard for worker rights and human dignity, which is a serious violation of ethical business practices.
