The Oregonian reports that after months of labor negotiations that followed the expiration of a contract last February, 1,200 unionized workers at Albertsons, Fred Meyer and Safeway in parts of Oregon are now threatening a strike that could disrupt the holiday season.
According to the paper, the issues between the two sides include proposed changes in pension contributions, medical insurance, and a proposed two-tier wage structure in which new employees would be paid less, including a health care plan that costs employers less.
