The United Food and Commercial Workers union is planning a march on Tuesday in La Verne, Calif., to call attention to its ongoing labor disputes with Stater Bros. and with Kroger- and Albertsons-owned chains in Central and Southern California.
The disputes are part of ongoing contract negotiations between several UFCW locals and the major chains in the region. Several UFCW locals are negotiating a new contract with Stater Bros. that covers about 8,000 workers at all of the retailer’s stores, a spokesperson for UFCW Local 135 in San Diego told Supermarket News.
Separate negotiations are underway with Kroger and Albertsons for contracts covering about 50,000 workers at those companies, the spokesperson said.
