Union grocery store members will vote Oct. 29-30 about whether to accept a new contract with Safeway, Fred Meyer, QFC and Albertsons.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The contract impacts workers in King, Snohomish, Kitsap, Pierce, Mason and Thurston counties working at the big chain and independent stores.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Union representatives and the grocery chains reached a tentative agreement Oct. 21 on a new contract just two hours before a scheduled strike. Union leaders have recommended that workers approve the new contract. Details about the contract have not been released to the media.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Members can come by at any time during the scheduled times to review the contract offer and get questions answered before casting their vote, according to a UFCW 21 union media release.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
