Stop & Shop talks in 11th hour

quote[ Today may be the final day of negotiations between Stop & Shop Supermarket Co. and union officials representing 43,000 New England workers.

If they don’t reach an agreement, workers could go on strike as soon as Friday.

As of Wednesday, union leaders attending negotiations in Providence, R.I., had made little progress in their talks with company officials, said Brian Petronella, president of United Food and Commercial Workers Local 371, based in Westport. Amid ongoing talks that began in December, the labor contract covering 43,000 workers in New England expired over the weekend.]
