Brooklyn —

Workers at an Associated supermarket in Bushwick are pushing for the backpay they’ve been awarded after years of collecting illegally low wages. The current owner says store’s former owner is responsible for the bill.

Meanwhile, an advocacy group called Make the Road by Walking is calling for a boycott of the supermarket — and is trying to help workers unionize.
