So it's all about simple, transparent data.
Kiri MastersPANELIST
There was a, there was a study that Albertsons did with Kellogg, uh, School of Management and Ovative Group, and they found that if you change the way that IRORs is calculated, it can swing from positive to negative-
Mark WatkinPANELIST

DanHOST
Now, if unions decided to maybe stretch the rules or break them and, uh, conduct some sympathy or solidarity strikes, that number could obviously grow exponentially.
DanHOST
But even for those workers who their contracts are expiring, that's a big number, and that includes the 300,000 Teamsters at UPS, 150,000 auto workers with the UAW at the Big Three American automakers, 77,000 educators across California schools, and 70,000 grocery workers at Kroger, Safeway, Albertsons, and their subsidiaries.
DanHOST
So that's both some huge groups of workers in the same employers and some folks in some incredibly critical positions in the economy and just our society more broadly.
LenaHOST
Yeah.

I've done this over the years.
Lou PenroseHOST
Everything that they sell to you at Albertsons or at Vons or Stater Brothers, that stuff doesn't work.
