United Food and Commercial Workers union locals in Southern California have resumed talks with retailers after authorizing a possible strike two weeks ago, reports Supermarket News. The unions hope that the talks with Ralphs Grocery Co., Albertsons, Vons, and Pavilions will result in better employee wages and additional funding for health care plans.
"As we have said all along, we are committed to continuing to invest in our associates — providing secure, stable jobs with competitive pay and benefits,” says Ralphs President Mike Murphy. “We know our associates are the heart of our company. With a balanced approach, this agreement can be a win for everyone — our associates, our communities and our company." Full Story
