Raley's unionized workforce Tuesday began preparing for a possible strike against the West Sacramento supermarket chain.
The United Food and Commercial Workers announced early Tuesday that Raley's refused to extend its contracts and was preparing to give workers its "last, best and final offer."

It would be the first strike in Raley's history.
