SAN DIEGO -- Negotiations will resume Tuesday between supermarket chains and the union for striking and locked-out grocery workers.
Union officials say they are prepared to work around the clock to
resolve the dispute.
The two sides met last Saturday but talks broke off soon after.
Ralphs, Vons, and Albertsons were not open on Thanksgiving Day.
About 70,000 grocery workers went on strike or were locked out on
Oct. 11.
Tuesday's meeting will be the fourth round of talks.
