Strike At Macy's?

Workers represented by the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union voted to go on strike at Macy's, Inc. stores in Manhattan, Bronx, Queens, and suburban Westchester County, New York, should negotiations fail to generate a new contract by June 15, 2011, when the old contract expires. Issues in dispute include pension benefits and health insurance costs. Macy's has placed adverts in newspapers looking for temporary sales staff 'in anticipation of a possible labor dispute.'
