Thousands of Kroger union members have voted in favor of a new three-year contract, avoiding a potential strike.
The Cincinnati-based company, Kroger, presented an updated contract last week to the UFCW Local 1059, the Columbus chapter of the United Food & Commercial Workers Union.
Union negotiators tentatively agreed to an updated contract that Kroger produced, sending it out to its nearly 12,500 members.
