Food 4 Less workers to vote on action if new deal is not reached, as employees say wages and benefits lag behind

The contract with United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) expired on Saturday. Members are voting on whether to authorize an unfair labor practice strike if a new deal is not reached, and results expected late on Friday.
