LOS ANGELES — United Food and Commercial Workers or UFCW Locals 8GS, 135, 324, 770, 1167, 1428 and 1442, together representing more than 6,000 Food 4 Less/Foods Co. workers across California, reached a tentative agreement securing substantial wage increases for all workers, more guaranteed hours, and other contract improvements.

The UFCW Food 4 Less/Foods Co. Bargaining Committee said the following: 

“We are proud to announce a tentative agreement with Food 4 Less/Foods Co. that we unanimously recommend to our co-workers. We are grateful for the solidarity and strength our co-workers have shown throughout negotiations as well as the overwhelming support we have received from our customers and community members. We could not have achieved this deal without them.

Today proves that when workers stand together, we win. We look forward to discussing the details of this agreement with our co-workers before we make our voices heard during the voting process.”

Further details of the tentative agreement will be shared exclusively with union members in meetings held throughout the week. After votes close, the results will be tallied, verified, and shared with members. Vote results and further information on the contract will be shared with the public after membership has had a chance to review and vote on their contract.
