TREASURE VALLEY, Idaho — Thousands of Albertsons grocery workers in the area will soon vote on a new labor contract that could avert a strike.
Union leadership and Albertsons reached an agreement Monday night that members must approve in the coming weeks.
"I can say it's a good deal both sides recommending a yes vote," a union representative said. "And it's a member-driven bargaining committee, so they would not be recognizing and encouraging a yes vote if it wasn't a good deal."
Watch to learn more about the potential strike and new labor contract:
The UFCW Local 555 had previously authorized a strike over unfair labor practices several months ago, raising concerns for shoppers and workers in the community.
