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!
