Grocery stores in St. Louis still in talks with union after strike authorization
The Greater St. Louis Food Employers Council said Thursday it will resume negotiations next week with union workers after they rejected a contract proposal and voted to authorize a strike.
The council includes the area's largest grocers, Schnucks, Dierbergs and Shop 'n Save.
Lori Willis, a spokeswoman for the group, said members of Local 88 of the United Food and Commercial Workers voted earlier this week against a contract offered to replace one that expired in March. The union represents some 3,000 area workers, many in meat, deli and seafood counters found in grocery stores.
