Unionized employees of four Albertsons-owned Grocery Warehouse and Max Foods stores on Friday rejected a labor contract offered by the company.
The metro-area stores, which employ 250 workers, are the only ones in the state where workers have failed to ratify a new contract.
Fifty-three percent of the workers who voted rejected the contract, which would have provided a lower wage scale than contracts ratified by workers at the state’s other Albertsons stores and by Safeway and King Soopers employees, according to the union, spokesman Dave Minshall said.
The workers did not take a strike vote and expect to return to the bargaining table, Minshall said.
An Albertsons spokeswoman declined to comment Friday afternoon.
