Just days after workers at two Portland employers voted to unionize, truck drivers and mechanics for Shaw’s Supermarkets in Maine have gone on strike.
About 80 members of Teamsters Local Union No. 340 in South Portland walked off the job early Monday at a Shaw’s distribution center in Wells and a maintenance shop in Scarborough.
The members work for Clifford W. Perham Inc., a trucking subsidiary of Shaw’s. The Teamsters have been without a contract there since last August, according to the union, which was seeking better pay, retirement contributions and health coverage.
But Shaw’s parent Albertsons Cos. Inc. (NYSE: ACI) hasn’t been at the bargaining table since February, when a labor negotiator for the corporation stopped working, the local’s business agent, Joe Piccone, told Mainebiz Monday.
