Safeway workers who walked off the job Monday are bracing for a long strike, union leader Doug O'Halloran said Wednesday.
"We've had long strikes with Safeway before and I'm anticipating another one this time," said O'Halloran, who recalled a 11-week strike in Alberta in 1997 and a five-month strike in California four years ago.
"It is very difficult, but we pay pretty good strike pay, so we are able to keep the wolf away from the door," he said. Workers earn $8 an hour for the first three weeks and $10 an hour thereafter.

Pretty good strike pay???
Guess O'Halloran didn't learn his lesson from the 97 strike. Workers went back to work as strike pay wasn't paying the bills.
