Supermarket union pickets outside C-Town
MATAWAN - The picketers outside C-Town have no plans of leaving any time soon.

Members of Local 464A of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union (UFCW) began picketing the new supermarket about two weeks ago. According to Union President John Niccollai, the picketers are at the Main Street site "to let the customers know they're shopping in a nonunion store." Niccollai said the protestors would remain until the union feels its message has been heard.

"There's no time limit," Niccollai said. "We've had other pickets go on for five or six years. We're like the proverbial pit bull."

Niccollai said the C-Town picket is an informational drive, not an organizational drive. The union is not trying to start up a new chapter at the site but simply inform passers-by and other prospective shoppers of its presence.
