Ricky Podgorski and Kendra Broddus at WMUR Manchester (New Hampshire) report Truck Drivers and Warehouse Workers for Associated Grocers Northeast are on Strike with one Union Representative saying they're prepared to stay on Strike for as long as it takes. A Teamsters Representative said the biggest reason for the Strike is that the company pulled out of a pension plan and attempted to replace it with a 401(k) without any match. The Teamsters Local 633 says 98% of its Members voted to reject the change and keep their pensions. "The frustration is these guys have worked most of their career here for that period," Teamster Official James Petrillo said. "They want to retire with dignity, and the company is trying to take that away from them. That's why they're out here." Their contract expired on October 17th. The Union represents more than 255 Members. "It's going to go as long as it takes. We have a viable Strike Fund that is helping our Members, so the company can't take advantage of them," Petrillo said.
