Northwest San Pedro Neighborhood CouncilResolution re: the United Food and Commercial Workers Strike Whereas the strike and subsequent lockout of over 70,000 workers at 859 stores located throughout Southern California is now in its XX day, Whereas this strike and lockout since Oct 11, 2003 has imposed great hardships on the grocery store workers living and working in the area served by the Northwest San Pedro Neighborhood Council (NWSPNC), Whereas it has also imposed economic hardships on neighboring commercial businesses and related food service industries, Whereas the grocers have not indicated a willingness to come to the negotiating table, and have recently indicated that they may stop making payments into the health trust fund required in November and December 2003, Be it resolved this day, November 10, 2003, that the NWSPNC expresses its solidarity with the striking, locked-out workers of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union. The NWSPNC strongly encourages the grocers to continue making payments into the health trust fund to ensure its solvency, and so state their intentions to do so as a sign of good faith. Further, the NWSPNC urges the grocers to begin good faith negotiations with the aim of quickly negotiating a fair and reasonable settlement to the issues precipitating the strike. Finally, the NWSPNC commends the United Food and Commercial Workers Union for conducting a peaceful strike, and encourages all parties to demonstrate flexibility in negotiations once talks to end the strike have begun. ------------------------------------------Return to RESOLUTIONS.
