Former Bruins Star Ray Bourque Apologizes for Crossing Stop & Shop Picket Line

Part of the tail section of missing AirAsia Flight 8501 was raised from the bottom of the Java Sea on Saturday, stoking hopes of recovering the plane’s black boxes, The Associated Press reported.

Former Boston Bruins star Ray Bourque is apologizing for crossing a picket line to shop at a Stop & Shop supermarket in Massachusetts while the workers are on strike. 

Bourque was caught on video leaving a North Andover Stop & Shop on Monday as a worker said "Shame on you." 

Thousands of Stop & Shop workers at 240 stores in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island went on strike last week over what they say is an unfair contract proposal. 

Bourque, a 22-year member of the NHL players' union, apologized on Twitter. 

He said he had a "medical condition that I was preparing for" and "mistakenly crossed the picket line." He promised to walk the picket line in solidarity with Stop & Shop workers once his medical issue is resolved.
