“While wage and benefit improvements met recent competitor settlements, ever increasing use of temporary workers has inhibited the opportunity for long-term, non-steady workers to achieve regular status with its additional compensation and benefits,” George Orlando, president of UFCW Local 1D, which represents the clerical and warehouse staff, said in an email.
“This trend is inconsistent with industry practice and is a direct threat to the job security of our members and the integrity of our Union,” Orlando added.
The company hadn’t any comment.
