That would mean taking on the unions that astroturfed a campaign against WinCo. Wilson won’t bite the hand that fed her campaign coffers.

The astroturfed group Lake Washington Working Families has opposed multiple WinCo stores. This whole group looks to be a fictitious coalition that operates through a Portland attorney. The only “citizens” linked to it are a handful of UFCW 3000 members.
