2010-03-08 Shoppers could face VAT on food - Telegraph

The food industry is against the move. Mr King said: "On food, VAT acts in a very regressive way. The poorer you are, the higher the proportion of your household income you spend on food.

Late last year the National Institute of Economic and Social Research said that families face the prospects of income tax increases and having to pay VAT on previously exempt goods such as basic food if the Governments budget is to be balanced.

Measures to help consumers reduce the amount of food that could be eaten but is thrown away - which costs the average British family 680 a year - could include cutting portion sizes or improving "sell by" and "use by" date information to make it clearer.

2010-03-01 Grocery labor contract going to a vote Sunday

Representatives from the UFCW did not return phone calls during the week. A spokeswoman for Cub Foods declined to comment while negotiations were underway. It was unclear Friday whether a "no" vote would result in a strike. Contract talks began in January. Local 653 President Raymond Sawicky wrote in the unions February newsletter, Fact Finder, that he and the negotiating committee "will have our work cut out for us. "

The United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 653 represents more than 11,000 supermarket workers in Minneapolis and the western suburbs at such chains as Cub Foods, Lunds, Byerlys, Kowalskis Market and Jerrys as well as independents such as Ingebretsens and Nelsons Meats.

2010-02-28 Wine in groceries good for economy -- Page 1 -- Times Union - Albany NY

Rather than focus on one facet, lets look at how an overall healthy economy benefits everyone -- all small and large businesses and all consumers. Based on what Ive seen in other states that allow wine to be sold in food stores, Im convinced that allowing the sale of wine in grocery stores will contribute to a healthy economy in New York.

If you want wine sold in food stores, you must let your state senator and Assembly person know. They need to hear from you now.

I support wine being sold in grocery stores.
