New Mexico Grocery Store Workers' Union Set to Vote on Strike
- On June 11, members of the union representing over 45,000 grocery employees in Southern California voted to approve a strike authorization against Kroger and Albertsons.
- The strike authorization follows nine months of failed contract negotiations and expired worker contracts from March 2 amid accusations of unfair labor practices.
- The union demands living wages, affordable healthcare, a reliable pension, more staffing, and better conditions while accusing companies of union-busting tactics and dismissing legitimate concerns.
- Over 90% of Local 135 members voted yes, with union leaders calling it a mandate to not be silenced or pushed around, and no strike date has been set yet.
- Negotiations will continue on June 25-27, and the strike could disrupt operations during the industry's peak summer season if no agreement is reached.
