Bestway Mt. Vernon Votes for Union Recognition

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)Supermarket workers at the Mt. Vernon Bestway on April 24 voted for a union. The vote was 16-10 to join UFCW Local 400, with 9 challenged votes, which must be investigated by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) before it can be officially deemed a victory. Last October, Bestway workers from the Falls Church, VA location had UFCW Local 400 recognized as their union. The employees at the Silver Spring, Maryland location have been represented by Local 400 since 1998. Both locations are currently in contract negotiations. -  UFCW 400’s Wednesday Weekly
