SAN DIEGO — Members of the union representing 6,000 Food4less workers will begin voting this week on whether to authorize a strike now that their current contract has expired without a tentative agreement on a new one.
"Everyone deserves a wage that reflects their work and no one deserves to be bullied at their job. By violating our rights, Food 4 Less and Kroger are making it harder to help our customers and keep our stores well- serviced, which is why we've been forced to take a strike authorization vote."On May 22, the locals filed unfair labor practice charges against Food4less/Foods Co., alleging the company undermined negotiations and workers' rights to representation.
