Most likely, yes. They're both national chain grocery stores. Kroger and Publix. Kroger is unionized, Publix isn't.
Looking back in history, did any sizable company offer any of those benefits before the unions demanded it?
Before the unions, no such benefits were offered- competition for workers ended with providing as little as possible. once one companyis forced to give in to the workers' demands, though, it leads other to have to compete in benefits/compensation in order to attracts employees. As more and more companies offer such benefits, the pressure on holdouts increases, until even non-unionized labourers begin to benefit- much as non-union workers today benefit from the 8-hr day, minimum wage, and workplace safety standards won by the unions of old.
