More than 2,500 union members plan to picket outside of 22 Lunds and Byerlys in the west Twin Cities metro Thursday through Saturday, ahead of the 4th of July holiday, a busy weekend for grocery stores.
Members of United Food and Commercial Workers Local 663 are accusing the grocery chain Lunds & Byerlys of unfair labor practices amid contract negotiations.
“This is the first time that workers have authorized a ULP strike and if we cannot get to a fair agreement the first time, I believe that the Lunds & Barleys workers will be going on strike,” said Rena Wong, president of UFCW Local 663.
