Grocery Workers Ratify Contract

Grocery Workers Ratify Contract

Members of United Food and Commercial Workers ratified a three-year contract agreement that  covers 62,000 employees of Ralphs, Vons/Pavilions and Albertsons.

Details of the agreement reached early last week were not made public. Workers will pay about $7 per week for individual health insurance, and family insurance will require a payment of about $15 per week, according to reports.

A tentative deal was announced at mid-day Monday. Workers ratified the contract late Saturday.

It covers workers from Santa Maria south to the Mexico-U.S. border.
