Kmart workers reject contract

WARREN — A majority of the Kmart Distribution Center workers voted against a new contract on Sunday.

Sixty-one percent of the membership voted down the new contract offer.

The center, located at 541 Perkins Jones Road NE in Warren, has about 220 workers.

This is the second time the workers voted down the contract offer with Kmart.

United Auto Workers Local 1112 President Glenn Johnson, who represents the workers at the center, said the workers have several issues with the new contract but he would not go into detail as negotiations will continue.

“Hopefully, we can sit down and talk with Kmart and come up with some understanding that will be accepted by the membership,” Johnson said.
