LOS ANGELES - Southern California grocery workers have voted to allow their union to call a strike against three major supermarket chains if contract talks break down.
The strike authorization vote was approved Wednesday by an overwhelming margin, according to a notice posted Thursday on the website of the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 770.
The site didn't mention the vote count.
Seven union locals representing more than 60,000 workers have been working under a contract with Vons, Ralphs and Albertsons that expired last month.
The vote doesn't mean a strike is imminent. Contract negotiations are set to resume this month.
Representatives of the supermarket chains have called the vote premature.
