METHUEN, Mass. — The union representing striking workers at a Shaw’s distribution center here urged its members to call Craig Herkert, the chief executive officer of Supervalu, Friday to demand a resolution.

The union walked off the job March 7 after rejecting a “last, best and final” offer from Shaw’s.

It has said it would not improve that alternate offer.
