Members of the unions representing thousands of Stop & Shop workers have threatened to strike over a breakdown in negotiations between the company and workers at the Freetown, Massachusetts, warehouse.
According to a letter from the New England Council of United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW), they are calling on the company to come back to the table after contract negotiations between Stop & Shop and Teamster Local 25 fell apart. The letter says that Stop & Shop has threatened to close the Freetown warehouse, which employs nearly 900 people.
The contract dispute concerns issues like maintaining wages, benefits and working conditions at the warehouse.
