STOP & SHOP NEGOTIATION UPDATE

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Here we are Saturday at 2:40 in the afternoon and we’re still at it.

We are hanging tough in order to bring back the best possible package that is available. If I were to make an analogy, it would be a football game and we are down on the 1st yard line trying to score, and that last yard always seems to be the most difficult. We’re at a point where the economics is the last piece on the table and we want to make sure we don’t walk away unless we get everything that we believe is available. Our goal remains to bring back a company offer that is fair and equitable, that protects everything we have in our contract and makes improvements that you have earned and deserve.

Because of your unity, your strength and your connection to your customers we are still at the table making progress. Without you we would have been gone a long time ago. Don’t underestimate your value and importance to these negotiations.

See all of you tomorrow at Rhodes On The Pawtuxet.

Remember:

Your strength is your unity and your unity is your strength.

In Solidarity,

Dave Fleming
