Progressive offer to go to meeting

Progressive Enterprises and the union representing locked-out distribution workers appear close to nailing down an offer to take to members.

Company representatives met the National Distribution Union last night and presented an offer.

Union national secretary Laila Harre said the parties were going over final details of the offer, which would then be discussed by members at a meeting planned for noon today.

More than 500 workers at supermarket distribution centres in Auckland, Palmerston North and Christchurch have been without pay since August 25.
