On Oct. 17, the UFCW responded to Rite Aid’s decision to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
“As the union that represents more than 10,000 essential Rite Aid workers across the country, the UFCW’s highest priority will always be to defend and protect our hard-working union members,” said UFCW International President Marc Perrone in a statement.
“We will vigorously protect all collective bargaining agreements to remain in place and through the bankruptcy process, where we also will petition the court to have a seat at the table when it comes to protecting our members’ wages and benefits.”
