Schnucks union workers celebrate historic 3-year contract approval

Schnuck Markets employees on Monday approved a new three-year contract with the St. Louis-based grocery chain.

United Food and Commercial Workers Local 655, which represents about 4,500 employees at Schnucks stores in eastern Missouri, said the deal was the largest negotiated in the local’s history, with a 60% increase in the total compensation package from the most recent contract inked three years ago.
