A union representing Stop & Shop workers is threatening a strike at all of the supermarket chain's stores in New England if the company closes a distribution center in Freetown, Massachusetts.

The supermarket chain is threatening to shut down its Freetown distribution center, where more than 1,000 people work, if the Teamsters Local 25 doesn’t meet its demands.

The company said it "could achieve millions in savings" by closing the Freetown distribution center, but has told the union it could keep the center open if changes are made to health care coverage.
