On May 8, exactly one month before Food 4 Less workers’ contract expires, Food 4 Less workers, the contract bargaining committee and community supporters delivered 836 petitions containing 4184 signatures in Orange County to store management and company representatives demanding a contract that respects their work and provides equity with other union grocery stores in California.
