LANDOVER, Md. — Giant Food here said it has reached an agreement with one of the three unions representing workers at a grocery warehouse that will save jobs as the facility is transferred as planned to new management this fall.

Giant earlier this year said it would transfer its dry grocery warehouse in Jessup, Md. to an affiliate of C&S Wholesale Grocers.

The agreement with Teamsters Local 730 would preserve 341 full-time jobs at the plant, although some jobs would become part-time, according to a report in the Baltimore Sun newspaper. Giant said it hopes to come to an agreement with two other labor unions representing workers at the facility.
