Workers at Vancouver’s Save On Foods  have voted 58% to reject a new contract offer from the  Overwaitea Food Group (owned by Jim Pattison).  Union representatives covering 27 stores from the Chilliwack to Squamish regions, will issue a 72 hour perishable goods notice today. Perishable notices are issued in order to give the company time to deal with perishable consumer goods before the strike.   The primary points of contention are wage increases and the existing two tier wage system which offers lower wages to new employees.
