Four-month Shaw's strike is over; union ratifies new contract
METHUEN — A four-month strike marked by several violent incidents and arrests ended peacefully yesterday when workers at the Shaw's distribution center ratified a new contract. "The picket lines came down today and the strike is over," said Peter Derouen, spokesman for the United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 791, which represents more than 300 Shaw's workers at the Danton Drive facility. "It's been a long, tough haul. We're looking to moving forward and putting this behind us and getting our people back to work. But I'm very proud of the resolve the men displayed over the past 17 weeks during some of the most difficult times," Derouen said. The strike officially ended in its 18th week in a conference room at the Day's Hotel and Conference Center where members voted 171 to 37 to accept the contract, according to Derouen.
