FOOD LION SUED BY FORMER EMPLOYEE

A former Food Lion employee filed a federal class action lawsuit against the fast-growing North Carolina supermarket chain Monday, alleging the company has illegally denied workers retirement and health benefits.

Company officials said the plans are administered according to law and called the suit an attempt by the United Food and Commercial Workers Union to pressure the company into recognizing the union. The company is non-union.

Food Lion has 675 stores in 10 states from Delaware to Florida, including Virginia. - Associated Press
