Workers at New York's giant produce market could strike over weekend

By Ellen Wulfhorst NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York restaurants and grocers scrambled on Thursday to make alternative plans for supplies of fresh food ahead of a possible weekend strike at the city's largest wholesale produce market. Some 1,300 members of Teamsters Local 202 could walk off their jobs on loading platforms and storage facilities at the Hunts Point Produce Market in the South Bronx on Sunday, a union spokesman said. "We are ready, willing, and able to meet with the federal mediator and the businesses to try and settle this contract," said Daniel Kane, president of Teamsters Local 202. "Come Sunday, if we haven't reached an agreement with Hunts Point owners, we will be on strike," he said. via Health News Headlines - Yahoo News Read More Here..
