Stop & Shop has announced that they have reached what they call fair new tentative agreements with UFCW Locals 328, 371, 919, 1445 and 1459, which represent 31,000 associates in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. "We’re also glad to have our associates return to work as the strike has ended," they say.

In a press release, Stop & Shop outlined tentative three-year agreements, which are subject to ratification votes by members of each of the union locals. The agreement includes:

  •  Increased pay for all associates;
  •  Continued excellent health coverage for eligible associates; and
  •  Ongoing defined benefit pension benefits for all eligible associates.

Stop & Shop said, "Our associates’ top priority will be restocking our stores so we can return to taking care of our customers and communities and providing them with the service they deserve. We deeply appreciate the patience and understanding of our customers during this time, and we look forward to welcoming them back to Stop & Shop."
