Podcast appearances and mentions of Arthur T Demoulas

During the Summer of 2014, customers and employees of Market Basket boycotted the company, demanding that the board of trustees reinstate Arthur T. Demoulas, the beloved president and CEO of the grocery store chain. This week, we tell the story of that protest, which is a good reminder that the people sitting around a boardroom table aren’t the only ones who own a company.

Demoulas, and how this protest theory still applies to current social impact issues on Dollars and Change. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
