Following a credible strike threat, more than 140 warehouse workers at Smith’s Food and Drug, a wholly owned subsidiary of Kroger, have reached a tentative agreement. The workers, represented by Teamsters Local 14, are based at the company’s Las Vegas distribution center.
“These hardworking Teamsters made it clear they would not accept anything less than a strong first contract,” said Jason Gately, Secretary-Treasurer of Local 14. “When management tested their resolve, they stood firm and showed they were ready to strike if necessary. Time was running out, and this agreement is a direct result of their unity and determination.”
