Local 371 Membership Elects Stop & Shop Bargaining Committee

Local 371 members at Stop & Shop held their contract proposal meeting on November 9th in Rocky Hill. The hundreds of members present shared what they would like to see in their next union contract. The biggest demands were protecting our insurance and pension, and addressing the wage compression issues created by the increase in minimum wage. Our membership bargaining committee was also elected. Congratulations to Doug Senn, Eileen Antolini, Glenn Marion, Roberta Green, and Lorenzo Mancuso for being elected! Bargaining will begin in the weeks ahead, and any members who were not present will have the opportunity to fill out an online contract demands survey.
