    Seventy-two percent of union workers at a supermarket chain voted to strike. In response, two of the chain's competitors locked out their own union workers. This led the union members to picket and boycott all three supermarket chains. The manager of a smaller competing grocery store saw an opportunity to gain market share during the strike. They increased advertising to point out that they employed union workers and had a different contract than the larger stores.

    Seventy two percent of the members of the United Food

    and #9195
    Seventy two percent of the members of the United Food and

    Seventy-two percent of the members of the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 655
    voted to strike against Stop ’n Shop in the St. Louis area. In fear of similar union responses,
    two of Stop ’n Shop’s larger rivals in the St. Louis market—Dierberg’s and Schnuck’s—decided
    to lock out its union employees. The actions of these supermarkets, not surprisingly, caused
    Local 655 union members to picket and boycott each of the supermarkets’ locations. While the
    manager of Mid Towne IGA—one of many smaller competing grocers—viewed the strike as
    unfortunate for both sides, he was quick to point out that the strike provided an opportunity for
    his store to increase market share. To take advantage of the strike, the manager of Mid Towne
    IGA increased newspaper advertising by pointing out that Mid Towne employed Local 655 union
    members and that it operated under a different contract than “other” grocers in the area. Use a
    graph to describe the expected impact of advertising on Mid Towne IGA (how the equilibrium
    price and quantity change). Identify the type of advertising in which Mid Towne IGA engaged.
    Do you believe the impact of advertising will be permanent? Explain.
