Phoenix, Ariz. (Nov. 10) - UFCW Local 99 leaders and staff will meet with the
union's Negotiations Advisory Committee to prepare for a potential strike
against Fry's and/or Safeway.

If a settlement with the employers is not reached this week, a labor action
could begin as early as Friday evening, Nov. 13.

Also attending Wednesday's meeting at the Airport Marriott will be leaders of
the UFCW International Union, presidents of UFCW local unions from across
North America, and representatives of Local 99's union allies in the Food &

At the meeting, the union will train picket captains, assemble picket signs
