LOS ANGELES (CNS) – The fourth negotiating session in eight days between the union representing some 12,000 Stater Bros. workers and the grocery chain is scheduled for Wednesday.
Representatives of Stater Bros. and the United Food and Commercial Workers met Tuesday and last Tuesday and Wednesday.
The union said it is seeking “living wages, affordable health care benefits, a reliable pension (and) more staffing and better working conditions for a better customer experience.”
Stater Bros. said in a statement Aug. 25 it is trying to “reach an agreement that reflects the value and importance of our store teammates, maintains the long-term health of the company, and helps us hold the line on grocery prices for our customers.”
The union announced July 25 its members had voted overwhelmingly to authorize their bargaining team to call an unfair labor practices strike. A vote count was not released.
A strike authorization vote does not necessarily mean there will be a strike.
