Grocery workers, supermarkets reach tentative contract agreement
Seattle-area grocery store workers will vote on a contract offer, most likely in the week after Thanksgiving. The United Food and Commercial Workers and two other unions, which represent around 17,000 workers negotiated the agreement with the Allied Employers, which represent grocery stores. . Workers rejected the last contract offer two weeks ago, and voted to approve a strike. The workers said that the contract offer included too many cuts that would cost them too much.The agreement will be made public once it is voted upon
