Employees to get hiring preference in other departments
About 200 people — or nearly half the workers — who handle dry goods at the Jessup distribution center that serves Giant Food regionally will lose their jobs under a new contract negotiated with the union local, labor leaders said Monday.But union leaders with Teamsters Local 730, which represents 430 dry-goods workers who serve the region's largest grocery store chain, said the employees would be offered buyouts and jobs in other parts of the company. The facility also employs 380 people in fresh produce and 200 truck drivers, as well as workers in recycling.
Giant Food outsourced the dry-goods part of its distribution facility to New Hampshire-based C&S Wholesale Grocers last year as a cost-saving measure. The grocer continues to run the fresh foods part of the facility as well as the transportation and recycling divisions.

Isn't Giant a union JOB?
YEAH OBAMA'S UNIONS
It's ironic in that Unions at one time helped you keep your job. Now, they help the workers lose their jobs as union management struggles to survive in their castles.
I was trying to find out if C&S Wholesale was union or not. From what I can tell is NONunion. Maybe that is why they can do the job cheaper.
Message for Giant: If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
