STATEMENT BY UFCW INTERNATIONAL UNION PRESIDENT JOE HANSEN ON A&P’S PLANS TO PURCHASE RIVAL PATHMARK SUPERMARKETS


Washington — The United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) represents 54,000 A&P employees nationwide and nearly 29,000 Pathmark workers.

UFCW-represented employees at both companies have helped these two vital regional chains maintain strong market share, serve customers and communities.

The UFCW will continue to represent our members at both companies and enforce all union contract provisions while any possible transactions take place.

Should Pathmark decide to sell the company to A&P, the UFCW anticipates that all contracts would remain in effect.
