Talks resume in grocery strike

Representatives from both sides of the Raley’s / Nob Hill Foods strike returned to the negotiations table Sunday, with talks still ongoing late Monday, union representatives said.

“It’s always good when both parties in the room,” he said of the renewed talks. “Ideally we’re getting closer to an agreement.”
