Raley's, Nob Hill Reach Agreement with Union
The nine-day strike against Raley’s and Nob Hill stores ended today when a tentative agreement was reached between Raley’s management and United Food and Commercial Workers – UFCW 8-Golden and UFCW Local 5 - in Northern and Central California. The agreement, which will not be made public until it is ratified by union members, ends 15 months of negotiations between the two sides.
"This is very exciting because this contract provides us with the cost savings we need to fund our vision and the initiatives to make us more competitive in the 21st Century," said Mike Teel, president of West Sacramento-based Raley's. "I greatly appreciate the incredible effort put forth by our employees and company during this time as well as thank the many customers who continued to support us. As one of the last large family-owned grocery chains, it will be great to have everyone back working again."
