King Kullen Update [12-22-17]

Dear King Kullen Members,
 
Update on King Kullen negotiations…All members employed by King Kullen Grocery Co. should be aware that your contract expires at 12:01 am on 12/31/17. However, we have a signed extension through February 3rd, 2018. Although we have had five negotiating sessions since November, minimal progress has been made. The Company has made proposals that, among others, would substantially increase your out of pocket expenses with respect to your medical plan. This is unacceptable, and we will continue to endeavor to bring you the best contract possible. We have no additional meetings scheduled for 2017, but we are confident that we will be able to get back to the bargaining table in January. For now, please continue to go to work and do what you all do best because your current contract remains in full effect throughout this process unless one side or the other decides to make a change. We believe the during the Holidays it is much better to be working together and providing for your families than any other alternative. On behalf of President Speelman and the rest of the staff of Local 1500 we want to wish all of you, and your families, a very safe and healthy Holiday Season!
