Donated donuts, cups of coffee, and bags of chips sat on a table behind a crowd of striking Stop & Shop workers in Hamden Monday afternoon as two unions came through with another donation: a total of $5,000 to the fund that will help them get through the strike without pay.
The donations came from the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Council 4 and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) of Connecticut, both of whom gave $2,500 dollars. Both unions pledged to give an additional $500 each week for the rest of the strike.
