Strikes in Southern California will effect grocery union members. The stores will include Ralphs, Vons and Albertsons. The last strike was in 2003-04 and 550 new stores have opened since then. Grocery workers are over whelmed with the cost of health-care-benefits. Ninety percent of the workers voted to reject the supermarkets offer. Strikes will occur in mid-week if agreements are not made.
