and to keep informed on the issue;
http://wearemarketbasket.com/

"This website has been set up to give the people of Market Basket, be they associates, customers, vendors or any interested party, a forum to read opinion pieces and see public documents related to the current crisis which was brought on by Arthur S. Demoulas and threatens the existence of the company. We want to provide an open space for people to voice their own concerns on a site dedicated to this one issue. This site is also the peoples' answer to the farce of a site recently set up by the Board of Directors which has shown itself to be a one way street of carefully manipulated misinformation. This is our site. This is our company. We Are Market Basket."
