South St. Paul, MN-Workers overwhelmingly voted to accept a three year pact with the St. Paul Grocers. The pact maintains healthcare coverage (with no premium for full-time or part-time workers), wage increases in the second and third of the agreement, and offers job protection language.

President Don Seaquist said, "the pact is the best agreement that the United Food & Commercial Workers International Union has been able to reach in 2005. The fact that healthcare coverage is preserved and that no additional costs are shifted onto our members is significant."

Local 789 represents 7500 workers in Retail, Healthcare, and Meat Processing in Minnesota and publishes www.YouAreWorthMore.org.
