The union representing 45k grocery store workers throughout Southern California has voted to authorize a strike against supermarket chains Albertsons and Kroger. No date has been set for a strike. The United Food and Commercial Workers contract with the chains expired March 2 and talks have been sparse since the chief federal mediator was fired as part of Trump administration cuts in federal workers. A separate vote is planned on whether to strike against Stater Bros. https://www.pressenterprise.com/2025/06/11/45000-southern-california-grocery-workers-authorize-strike-against-albertsons-kroger/

SPORTS
In the NBA championship series – Last night in Indianapolis, the Pacers retook the series lead, winning Game Three 116-107 over the Oklahoma City Thunder after trailing early in the fourth quarter. Interesting statistic – every time in the last three months that the Pacers have lost, as they did in Game Two, they’ve come back to win the next one. Game 4 will be Friday in Indianapolis at 5:30p on ABC. Game 5 will be Monday in Oklahoma City.
In the NHL Stanley Cup series – Game 4 between the Panthers and Oilers is tonight in Sunrise, Florida. The Panthers lead two games to one. https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/45483446/oilers-unravel-penalty-chaos-reigns-game-3-stanley-cup-final-loss-panthers
The New York Rangers are working on a trade with the Ducks to send Chris Kreider to Anaheim for a prospect and a draft pick. The Ducks would take over the final two years of Kreider’s $6.5m per year contract. Apparently all that’s needed is for Kreider to waive his no-trade protection. If he does, it would reunite him with former Rangers’ teammates Jacob Trouba and Ryan Strome. https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/45492284/sources-rangers-talks-trade-chris-kreider-ducks

They still trail the first place Dodgers by a half game. The Padres are two games off the pace. The Angels swept their series against the visiting A’s with a 6-5 win yesterday afternoon in Anaheim. The Giants conclude their visit to Denver this afternoon. The rest of the SoCal teams are off today.

Starbucks is testing a new protein cold foam at five U.S. locations. The banana-flavored foam is available on iced latte drinks. Protein drinks and shakes have exploded in popularity in recent years. According to Beverage Digest, protein shakes are now a $6b industry. The new item is part of a broader revamp of Starbucks menu. Other items currently being tested include a Strato Frappuccino and croissants baked fresh in-store. As new items are added, about 30% of Starbucks existing menu will be cut by the end of this fiscal year to make room. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/starbucks-protein-cold-foam/
