Lockyer’s Grocer Probe Is About Politics
- Share via
California’s attorney general should not be playing politics with California’s food supply (“Grocers, Lockyer in Late Talks Over Mutual-Aid Probe,” Dec. 23).
The attorney general’s investigation of the stores has no justification but to benefit the unions, which have supported Lockyer in many elections.
Why isn’t Lockyer investigating cooperative pacts among the different union organizations?
The attorney general should be protecting the consuming public, not his political supporters.
The stores and their employees need to resolve their differences, but they should come to this agreement without the heavy hand of the state’s prosecutor interfering in that negotiation.
