With the news that UNFI no longer plans to sell Shoppers stores, “we expect them to come to the table ready to make progress toward a new agreement that rewards your hard work and sacrifice,” the union said. “We have rightly been called essential and heroes for our sacrifices over the last 16 months and it is time for UNFI to treat us that way by agreeing to a fair contract that includes the raises we have been waiting for, retroactive to the expiration of our contract, along with the reinstatement of our COVID leave.” ![]() Buy Nats tickets, support CSA Today's Labor Quote: Joe Burns TODAY'S LABOR HISTORY This week’s Labor History Today podcast: Dramatizing The Murals.
