Central Valley supermarket labor pact extended
• Covers 40,000 workers
• New expiration is Dec. 1
An existing labor contract between the Save Mart, Raley’s and Safeway supermarket chains and United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 8 has been extended until Dec. 1, the union says.
The contract covers 40,000 supermarket workers in some 800 stores between Fresno and the Oregon border.
The new expiration date is the same as contracts for other UFCW locals.
“Achieving the same expiration date as UFCW Locals 5, 101 and 648 enables our unions to align the interests of all UFCW members in Northern California to achieve the finest possible contracts,” says Jacques Loveall, president of UFCW 8-Golden State.
