Update for the MB Faithful 1. Senator Elizabeth Warren and Governor Deval Patrick have both declined to take a stand in our fight against corporate greed despite the fact that dozens of lawmakers and mayors in MA and NH have signed our boycott and our standing with us, the middle class and lower class that they claim to fight so hard for. “Corporations are not people. People have hearts, they have kids, they get jobs, they get sick, they cry, they dance. They live, they love and they die. And that matters. That matters because we don’t run this country for corporations, we run it for people.--Elizabeth Warren September 2012 People feel like the system is rigged against them, and here is the painful part, theyre right. The system is rigged.--Elizabeth Warren September 2012 The financial bottom line is not the only bottom line. There is also a community bottom line, an environmental bottom line, a moral bottom line, and public leadership should try to integrate all of them.--Deval Patrick April 12, 2011 These two politicians claim to be on the side of the worker and against corporate greed yet refuse to put their money where their mouth is, lets flood them with calls and emails. Contact information for Senator Warren warren.senate.gov/ Contact information for Governor Patrick mass.gov/governor/ 2. Some have been saying that ATDs offer to buy the company has been accepted, please be aware that accepting the offer and accepting the deal are two entirely different things. If something happens you will know it, dont listen to rumors. 3. Board meeting has been changed from 4pm Friday to 9am Friday at the Prudential Center. 4. Just because ATD has tendered an offer to buy the company does not change what we are doing. It is great news however it is a shareholder issue that could take some time to work out even if the ASD side wants to sell to ATD. That being said, we continue to picket and boycott the markets. Our fight is directly with the BOD for them to reinstate ATD as CEO without restriction. 5. Rally Friday at the Tewksbury #8 store, 10 Main St. Tewksbury, MA at 9 am. Please consider car pooling and get there early. This rally is going to be a big one with more customers, more media and more associates. Tell everyone you know to go, please continue to act responsibly, the Tewksbury Selectmen are telling the media that they hope violence doesnt escalate. (apparently the Tewksbury Selectman are clueless). Remeber, We Are Market Basket, we are proud and we are respectful. 6. The Board and the new co-CEOs have engaged a new PR firm Oneill & Assoc out of Boston. Apparently KEKST was finally fired for doing such a stellar job, more money wasted. Anyway this PR firm has decided that the best way to boost their image is to drag up information that is decades old and try to rehash it. They have also planted trolls on our site to make negative comments etc...so if you think there is a troll jump on them then PM us so we can take care of it. They have found a PR firm with as much character as the BOD has. Stay STRONG MB Faithful, this isnt over by a long shot, continue to picket and boycott. We hope the BOD takes its fiduciary responsibilities seriously and votes the only way they can tomorrow by reinstating ATD with full authority. Customers, you have been absolutely fantastic and we are humbled by your strong show of support for us, we guarantee to make it up to you when this is all over.
