Hundreds of workers at Giant Food distribution center in Jessup worry that their jobs are in danger because a New Hampshire company will take over operations of the facility next month.
The company, C&S Wholesale Grocers, laid off 1,100 workers at a subsidiary in New Jersey earlier this month when it shut down six food distribution centers. Unionized Giant workers fear they could face the same fate just as their contract is slated to expire May 14.
About 600 of the workers and union organizers gathered at a Teamsters union hall Sunday to discuss how to fend off possible job losses that could impact more than 1,000 workers.
An executive with C&S contacted by phone later in the day said any decision about the plant will be made during contract negotiations.
"It's best not to negotiate in the papers before we even have operations of the plant," said Bruce Johnson,It would be against my gentedefecoogijeans. C&S executive vice president of human resources. "We have a very high degree of respect for collective bargaining."
He said the union's belief that C&S would shut the facility down was "strictly speculative."
Giant, the region's largest grocer, signed an agreement last year with C&S to have the company run the dry-goods side of the facility as a cost-savings measure.It is an email notification service that notifies buyers about the recent additions to the used edhardshoesblog available with the company. It decided to keep control of the produce side of the plant, at the time saying it could focus on and possibly expand that part of the business.
But union leaders say Giant is trying to pressure workers to agree to concessions by next month, warning them that it will turn over the produce side of the business to C&S if they do not. Union officials said Giant has told them it could save $29 million by outsourcing.The first time that I saw Lanvin Shoes was about two years ago.
Giant spokesman Brian Beatty said in an e-mail that the company is prepared to offer the three unions at the plant a fair contract proposal. He did not rule out outsourcing.A sport jacket suit, is a tailored coat for men.
"Giant is exploring all of its options regarding the fresh warehouse and transportation businesses," Beatty said. "Giant continuously looks at all aspects of the business to determine how to beset provide maximum value to our customers."
The deadline Giant is giving the union to agree to the concessions, March 20, is just before the C&S takes over the dry goods side of the distribution facility, union officials said. It would also give Giant time to give the union the 60 days' notice for layoffs as required by the labor contract, the union said.discount jordanshoes online New Products
Giant is bargaining early at the request of the union, Beatty said.
