Local union calls for boycott

The boycott is targeting Fred Meyer stores, including the one in The Dalles, over recent alleged harassment of unionized employees, according to a UFCW 555 press release. The union represents employees in grocery, meat, CCK (central check out) and non-food departments. After the most recent negotiations deadlocked, the union canceled nearly all its contract extensions with the Fred Meyer and QFC locations in its jurisdiction, as well as a handful of Safeways and Albertsons.
