TEWKSBURY, Mass. — Police have arrested a temporary Market Basket driver who allegedly jumped from his tractor-trailer and waved a hammer at workers picketing the supermarket chain's warehouse.

No one was injured in the Friday afternoon incident.

A Market Basket spokesman said the company "condemns the driver's actions" and said the driver and his company have been fired.

Workers loyal to fired Market Basket CEO continue picketing at the embattled supermarket chain's headquarters despite a notice this week from management that headquarters and warehouse workers will be fired if they stay off their jobs.

1. How is this guy a Market Basket driver again?

Quote from the OP

A Market Basket spokesman said the company "condemns the driver's actions" and said the driver and his company have been fired.

Either Market Basket fired itself or this guy is not an employee of Market Basket but of another company entirely. If Market Basket is not his employer, he is not a "Market Basket driver" as the headline describes him.

Is this just sloppy journalism or a deliberate attempt to smear Market Basket employees as violent and menacing?
