Stop & Shop Union Tussle Won’t Affect Connecticut Stores

Stop & Shop is threatening to close its warehouse in Massachusetts if unionized workers don’t agree to changes in health care benefits. If no deal is reached, operations will be outsourced to a third-party provider. About 600 union workers and hundreds of others could be impacted. Union leaders are warning of possible picket lines at Stop & Shop stores across New England, but they insist Connecticut stores won’t be affected.
