We the People: The Market Basket Effect
A powerful argument for a fairer and more balanced corporate environment.
We the People: The Market Basket Effect
We the People: The Market Basket Effect traces the events that led 25,000 employees and two million customers across New England to stand behind embattled CEO Arthur T. Demoulas and wrest control of a multibillion dollar grocery empire from an activist board of directors led by Artie T.’s cousin, Arthur S. Demoulas.
A vivid and thorough portrayal of the most memorable labor protest in recent American history, We the People investigates a question at the heart of ongoing economic debate: can regular people really band together to alter the balance of power in major corporations, or is the case of Market Basket a fairy tale victory?
