The cases are the latest in the bitter fallout from the 2003 grocery strike. Recently, the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Ralphs illegally gave money to Albertsons and Vons grocery stores to help support them during the labor dispute. Sales had dropped precipitously at Albertsons and Vons due to the strike, and Ralphs gave their competitors money to stay afloat. The court found the grocery stores violated anti-trust laws.
In 2006, Ralphs pleaded guilty to using fake Social Security numbers to re-hire locked out workers. It was a felony offense, and the grocery chain was required to pay $20 million in fines and $50 million into a fund to reimburse workers and the union.
