On Saturday, March 23, a protest rally was held at the Stop & Shop store at 779 McGrath Highway in Somerville. Store workers were joined by several public officials such as state Senator Patricia D. Jehlen of Somerville, State Representative Michael Connolly of Cambridge/Somerville and Jesse Clingan, Somerville’s Ward 4 City Councilor. Stop & Shop workers, who are seeking better pay and benefits, recently voted to approve a strike across Massachusetts, which as of yet has not been called.
