Your Union wishes to apprise all members currently working at either of the two locations enumerated above that your place of employment is being sold to Glass Gardens ShopRite. 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:

2.     No member will suffer a loss of wages, benefits, or emoluments as a result of the sale. 
3.     The transaction will in all likelihood be seamless to those members currently working in either Bloomfield or Newark.
