In a meeting held today at the Local Union Office with all the parties concerned, terms and conditions relating to any effected members were discussed in detail. We are pleased to report the following:
- No employee will be terminated, laid-off, replaced, or subject to a Probationary Period under the Agreement of Sale.
- No member will suffer a loss of wages, benefits, or emoluments as a result of the sale.
- The transaction will in all likelihood be seamless to those members currently working in either Bloomfield or Newark.
- We anticipate this transaction will be consummated sometime during the month of January 2025.
It is important to note that the owners of both Brookdale ShopRite and Glass Gardens ShopRite are anxious to work with the Union to effectuate this transition of ownership in an appropriate and cooperative manner with the Union, recognizing a responsible concern for all employees now and into the future.
Members should also feel at ease knowing that your Union will be walking through this transition with you protecting your interests as it proceeds.
