BOSTON -- Union locals
representing 43,000 Stop & Shop supermarket workers in southern
New England accepted the company's contract offer Sunday, NBC 30
has learned. This means Stop & Shop workers will not go on
strike.
Stop & Shop spokesman Robert Keane said negotiations ended
Saturday night.
He said the unions took the results of the talks to its members
in meetings Sunday in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode
Island, and workers voted to accept them.
Negotiations between the grocery chain and the United Food
and Commercial Workers union had stalled over issues including
health care contributions, pensions and wages.
