Gee I'm shocked grocery prices are high. (lol at unions)
Did you know grocery checkers for the major California chains make $55k per year plus full health benefits?
Three years experience and you're guaranteed to reach that pay rate. And they won full medical without employee contributions like ten years before this.
BRB total pay package around $75k per year.
BRB most people would still prefer self check.
BRB cashiers at non union stores do the same job for $12/hr across the street.

Explain to me how unions impact on efficient pricing decisions by corporations, genius

In this case, I'd doubt it's making a huge difference. They got rid of all the baggers and added the self scan machines, so there aren't many actual cashiers anymore.
Groceries are expensive because everyone had the ability to raise prices during Covid and they're now colluding to keep those prices from dropping, although many of their input costs have dropped. Also gas prices are high, which impacts everything in the entire supply chain.
If they lowered gas prices and gave us a desperately needed recession which is long overdue, this problem will fix itself fast.
This is why we need a Trump presidency. It will end the current Ponzi scheme. Kamala will just keep the bubble going and fuk things up more.

There's a high chance they also let employee numbers fall through attrition.
If the difference is that big how come the union stores are still in business?
100 employees, 3 leave, 3 more aren't hired. Right now there's a lot of that going on, companies expecting the same output with slightly less people. Then they put ghost job postings up to make current employees think more help is coming, but little to none is coming.

Cost of labor definitely has an impact, but if you look at commodity chart prices you will see a stronger correlation with food prices at grocery store

There's one main reason and it isn't to keep the public from complaining too much. Social Security. Underreport inflation and the government doesn't have to pay as much cost of living increases to retirees the next year. To be fair, if they reported real inflation, which is almost always double what the government says, our Social Security system would have gone bust a couple of decades ago.

Grocery store people used to make like over 30$ an hour in my area, over 20 years ago. Now they are minimum wage and the prices did not go down. Why?
