United Natural Foods Warehouse Workers Vote to Authorize Strike
More than 200 warehouse workers at United Natural Foods have voted by a 100% margin to authorize a strike if the company fails to deliver a fair contract and immediately cease its "unfair" labor practices. The group is demanding an agreement that meets or exceeds the standard already secured by thousands of UNFI Teamsters nationwide. "We organized as Teamsters to win a contract that respects the work we do," said Vedjo Williamceau, a warehouse worker and member of Teamsters Local 769. "The company's unfair labor practices and refusal to negotiate fair terms are unacceptable. If this continues, we will be left with no choice but to strike."
