According to Raley’s spokesperson John Segale, the Union offered a contract which Raley’s management rejected.

The proposal reportedly increased wages, included signing bonuses and higher costs for health and welfare of employees.

Mr Segale said that union leadership was “so out of touch with the realities of today’s economy. Management wants to lower expenses.
