Shaw's Warehouse Workers on Strike & Need our Support

Submitted by Website Editor on Fri, 03/19/2010 - 2:13pm.

Over 200 labor and community supporters turned out for a rally in at the Shaw's Supermarket in Dorchester to support striking warehouse workers at the company's Methuen Distribution Center.

Over 300 members of UFCW Local 791 voted overwhelmingly to reject the company's final contract offer and have now been on strike since March 7th.

The company's substandard wage proposals combined with its demand for increased employee health care contributions would result in a net loss of income for workers during the term of the proposed contract.

The company's final offer would also allow for the use of outside agencies to perform work at the facility, costing union jobs.

The rally was sponsored by UFCW Local 791, the Massachusetts AFL-CIO, the Greater Boston Labor Council and Jobs with Justice.

Please join Local 791 members on the picket line at the following locations from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM as they seek a fair and equitable agreement that preserves full-time jobs, work rules and contains good wages and benefits. If you go, introduce yourself to the picket captain as a member of Local 2222.
