Overview

• The board placed Arthur T. Demoulas on paid administrative leave on May 28 while it investigates allegations he plotted a work stoppage.
• The inquiry centers on claims he planned a walkout in retaliation for resisting the board’s requests for greater oversight.
• Several other executives, including Demoulas’ children Madeline and Telemachus, were also put on paid leave.
• Market Basket affirmed that its 90 stores and over 30,000 employees will remain under existing management with no change to benefits.
• The suspension revives echoes of the 2014 family feud when mass employee walkouts supported Demoulas in a similar power struggle.
