New operator C&S Wholesale Grocers calls concerns 'speculative'
Hundreds of workers at Giant Food distribution center in Jessup worry that their jobs are in danger because a New Hampshire company will take over operations of the facility next month.The company, C&S Wholesale Grocers, laid off 1,100 workers at a subsidiary in New Jersey earlier this month when it shut down six food distribution centers. Unionized Giant workers fear they could face the same fate just as their contract is slated to expire May 14.
About 600 of the workers and union organizers gathered at a Teamsters union hall Sunday to discuss how to fend off possible job losses that could impact more than 1,000 workers.
An executive with C&S contacted by phone later in the day said any decision about the plant will be made during contract negotiations.

Union laborers have priced themselves out of the market.
That is reality, and it's inescapable.
Look at Crown Cork, Dresser, etc.
Prepare to make MAJOR concessions, or plan on finding other work.
I have picked up and delivered at c&s warehouses. I hated each one of them. Wouldn't hurt my feelings if they closed everyone of them.
It's called karma.
