This week, workers with the United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 5 voted to authorize a strike at Safeway locations throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and the North Coast, citing unfair labor practices and “bad faith bargaining.” Workers have been without a contract since April.
“In a clear indication of their intent to back up their bargaining demands with action, Local 5 members have authorized an Unfair Labor Practice strike against Safeway by a margin of more than 95 percent,” the UFCW 5 said in a statement online. “Locals 8 and 648 members are voting as well with similar results anticipated.”
