Superstore workers vote on new deal

Nearly ten-thousand members of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union are voting this week on whether to accept a new collective agreement or issue strike notice against the 28 Real Canadian Superstore locations in B.C.

After a strike vote in May, the parent company, Loblaw, returned with a new offer with greater wage increases for long-term senior employees, expanded night shift premiums, signing bonuses and other benefits.

Voting on the new offer started last week and ballots will be counted this Friday.
