United Food and Commercial Workers Unioin Local (UFCW) 1500, New York State's largest grocery store workers' union, is telling shoppers to be careful when placing food orders for the Fourth of July weekend. This is because there is a possible strike that might happen due to expiring workers' contracts. This strike would affect over 150 supermarkets.

Some stores that are currently involved in negotiations include Stop and Shop, King Kullen Markets, and Pathmark. It might be best to place orders at other supermarkets because workers at those stores might go on strike during the holiday weekend.

United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 1500 is based out of Queens Village and represents 23,000 grocery workers in the Metropolitan New York area.
