Grocery workers across Southern California are preparing to strike against Ralphs, Albertsons, Vons and Pavilions — the region’s first in decades — unless a final round of negotiations next week can yield better pay, improved staffing and other benefits.
More than 45,000 members of the United Food and Commercial Workers union, who stock and serve about 500 stores in the region, voted on June 11 to authorize a strike.
While it did not disclose the results, union leaders say the vote was “overwhelmingly” in favor of a strike.
