Grocery store workers staged a rally in Long Beach as negotiations between the chain and the union stall.

Joining the union grocery workers Tuesday night were Long Beach Union School District board member Megan Kerr; Josh Lowenthal, a candidate for Assembly District 69; Andrea Zinder, president of the United Food and Comercial Workers.
