SEATTLE — Members of three union locals here are scheduled to resume meetings with representatives of Allied Employers this Thursday — a week after union members gave negotiators authority to call a strike by a 94% vote.
A second bargaining session is also scheduled for Friday.
The talks affect 25,000 employees at Safeway, Supervalu-owned Albertsons and Kroger-owned Fred Meyer and QFC. The unions involved are Locals 21 and 81 of the United Food and Commerical Workers representing clerks and meatcutters, respectively, and Teamster Local 38, representing some grocery workers.
Their contracts expired March 18 and have been extended several times since.
