Southern California Stater Bros. workers ratified a new labor contract with the grocery chain, their union announced Friday.
According to United Food and Commercial Workers, the three-year agreement includes “substantial wage increases,” along with a new supplemental pension plan and increased healthcare contributions.
It also includes provisions for worker safety and adequate staffing, UFCW officials said.
The contract covers more than 12,000 Stater Bros. workers across Southern California, including San Diego County.
“Our members fought to ensure their jobs would be sufficient to feed their own families and afford health benefits and a dignified retirement at the end of a long career,” officials said. “They fought for safety measures so they wouldn’t be afraid of going to work.”
The agreement was reached last week after four negotiating sessions in nine days between store management and UFCW Locals 135, 324, 770, 1167 and 1428.
“Negotiations were conducted in good faith, with both sides working hard to reach a fair deal that supports our teammates and holds the line on prices for our customers,” Stater Bros. Markets said in an statement when the tentative contract agreement was announced.
The union workers had previously authorized a strike if a deal could not be reached.
