UFCW local sets meeting to discuss A&P future Read More: http://supermarketnews.com/retail-financia
http://supermarketnews.com/retail-financial/ufcw-local-sets-meeting-discuss-ap-futureUncertainty over the future of A&P has prompted several locals of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union to call member meetings to discuss the chain’s financial situation, including one scheduled for Wednesday by UFCW Local 1776 in Philadelphia.
In a posting on the local’s website, Wendell W. Young IV, president, said, “It is with regret I must report we are truly uncertain what will happen next,” despite several meetings with A&P representatives.
“Through this uncertainty, please know we are going to do everything we possibly can to save your job. As we have already witnessed, there are many rumors circulating. Please be careful to consider the source and understand some things may be true while others may not.”
Industry observers said any action by A&P, Montvale, N.J., could potentially affect 30,000 employees.
