Market Basket employees continued their protests Monday, even as the prospect of losing their jobs loomed. Last week, the company’s new co-CEOs, Felicia Thornton and Jim Gooch, set a morning deadline for employees to return to work or risk termination. Despite the ultimatum, outside the company’s Tewksbury headquarters, hundreds of workers demanded the reinstatement of Arthur T. Demoulas. Now, Market Basket is moving forward with its threat to replace thousands of absent workers. It held a job fair Monday for employees looking for more senior positions, but protestors said they’re holding firm. One noteworthy aspect of this saga is that none of Market Basket’s 25,000 employees are unionized. That doesn't necessary leave them without legal protections, though.
