Workers Ratify New Deal With Spartan Stores

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Warehouse, transportation and maintenance workers at Spartan Stores’ distribution center here have ratified a new three-year contract, Spartan said Tuesday.

The local bargaining unit associates, represented by Teamsters Local 406, were previously working under an approved one-year contract extension of a five-year labor agreement that expired in October 2011.
