Questioning Lockyer’s Role in Strike

Regarding “Lockyer to Sue Grocery Chains,” Jan. 31:

I wish someone could explain to me why Atty. Gen. Bill Lockyer claims it is illegal for the grocery stores to help each other during the strike, and yet it is perfectly legal for other unions to supply money and help to the United Food and Commercial Workers during the strike.

California is experiencing its worst fiscal crisis ever and yet the attorney general is misusing state resources to interfere with a private dispute with little benefit to the public.

Lockyer can volunteer his time on weekends if he feels so passionately about unions. Pandering to his political allies that can help him with his future elections is not part of his state responsibilities.
