Pending approval from its national
leadership, the local chapter of the
NAACP will join chapters from five other^,
states in a boycott against SalisburyXfea<ed
Food Lion Inc., a fast-growing super
I market chain.
"Of course, we plan to participate in
the boycott," said local NAACP President
Pat Hairston. "We are just waiting
for the word ro."

anything. Qf the 211 stores, only three
have black managers. They want our
money but they don't want to do what's

The data Hairston refers to are outlined
in a three-page report prepared by L. R.

market." Blacks provided $94.7 million
of Food Lion's $947 million in sales in ~
1982^ the report says.? ?
"Food Lion's profits were more than
$21 million (in 1982). Therefore, black
people constitute more than four times its
margin of profit."
According to independent research
(Food Lion would not participate in the
fact-finding survey.), the report says, of
the 8,764 people employed by the stores,
almost all black workers hold low-level
jobs. "... It appears that, out of 211 store
managers, only three are black,' the
report says. "Three managers represent
only one and one-half percent of their
store management. Our (the black) share
is 21 store managers."
The report also charges that Food Lion
employs no black people as directors or

from 107 in 1979 to 211 in 1983,
has not purchased "any appreciable
amount'* of products from black vendors
and does not use black-owned insurance
companies.
The fact sheet concludes that, because
black store managers are represented in
token numbers and because Food Lion
would not participate in the fact-finding
survey, black people should boycott the
grocery stores.
