The United Food and Commercial Workers Union (UFCW) Local 8, Local 5 and Local 648 have issued a deadline of midnight on Friday, July 25 for a new contract. Workers are seeking higher wages and improved benefits.
"The company has rejected several proposals—offering neither a rationale nor a counteroffer and has yet to offer a comprehensive wage proposal," UFCW 8 said in a statement. "We have been bargaining for months, our members have voted nearly unanimously to authorize a strike, and we're done waiting."
A spokesperson for Safeway said in a statement to CBS News Bay Area, which read in part, "We have scheduled bargaining sessions this week and continue to work with a federal mediator. While we are disappointed that the Unions have indicated the possibility of a strike at some of our stores, we fully respect our associates' right to engage in collective bargaining."
"We are hopeful a resolution will be reached soon, as we have in other parts of the country through successful collaboration with our union partners to secure agreements that recognize and reward our dedicated associates while supporting the company's ongoing growth," the spokesperson added.
