Members of the union representing more than 400 employees at Carriage House in Dunkirk and Fredonia say they have negotated a "fair" severance package with officials from parent company ConAgra.  SEIU Local-#266 President Tom Dickerson adds that ConAgra has also agreed to selling the two plants with no restrictions.  Dickerson adds he's glad -- quote -- "to report that we have achieved two of the three goals of our campaign for dignity and justice."  Dickerson says Local-#266 reached agreement with ConAgra last (Wednesday) night after two days of bargaining over the impact of the scheduled closing of the Carriage House facilities in Fredonia by the end of this year.  Union officials credited the outpouring of support from local business, civic, labor, religious and political leaders in recent months with making the difference.
