Lunds & Byerlys, a grocery store chain in Minnesota, has reached an agreement with the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 663 union, averting a potential strike that could have occurred on the 4th of July. The agreement includes wage increases and improved benefits for union workers.
The union representing over 2,500 Lunds & Byerlys workers is set to strike during the peak holiday shopping season, which could impact the grocery chain's operations and potentially lead to supply chain disruptions.
Workers at Lunds & Byerlys, represented by UFCW Local 663, may go on strike this weekend if they cannot reach a new contract agreement with the grocery chain. The workers are fighting for higher wages, pay equity, and better healthcare options. Lunds & Byerlys has proposed a company-sponsored healthcare plan, which the union has opposed. If a deal is not reached, workers would strike on June 29, June 30, and July 1.
Lunds and Byerlys responded to the announcement that employees in the West Metro represented by the union UFCW Local 663 voted to authorize a strike. The union said it will announce details, including strike dates, during a news conference Monday morning. Lunds and Byerlys released a statement saying they value their team members and have proposed wages and a healthcare plan that are among the best in the industry. The company is disappointed the union chose to take a strike authorization vote and remains hopeful progress can be made toward a mutually beneficial agreement.
