The United Food and Commercial Workers Union (UFCW) begins its strike authorization vote Monday for workers at Ralphs, Vons and Alberton’s grocery stores in Southern California.

Negotiations between the union and Southern California stores broke off on March 6. The union called the companies’ offer of a wage increase to be well below workers' cost-of-living needs. UFCW also accuses Ralphs of outsourcing food preparation to non-union kitchens. A company statement said 50% of Ralphs'"associates" have been with the company for at least 10 years.
The contract proposed by the stores offers an additional 60 cents an hour every year — an extra $1.80 an hour over the life of the contract.
