Leaders Resign, Market Basket Employees Rally In Support Of Fired CEO

Amid word of at least six resignations from Market Basket’s corporate offices, an estimated 300 employees rallied Tuesday outside the Chelsea store in support of the company’s ousted president, Arthur T. Demoulas. Demoulas and two other executives were fired Monday.

“There have been more resignations than firings,” Sue Dufresne, formerly an accountant with the company who resigned Monday, told Boston.com.

In addition to Dufresne, assistant director of operations David McLean has also resigned. According to people at the rally including Dufresne, several other senior level workers—CFO Dan Mulligan, Director of Advertising Jay Rainville, Executive Vice President Jim Miamis, and Deli Director Ronald Carignan—have also resigned. None of those four could be reached before this article was published, nor could Market Basket’s Tewksbury headquarters.
