Rep: Richard Waits
After months of negotiations, leafleting, info-picketing, a 97% strike authorization vote in June, and ratification votes from grocery store workers in many Puget Sound Allied Grocery Stores, our Union Bargaining Team harnessed all that power from thousands of grocery workers to fight and win a fair contract.
It has come to the Union’s attention that the contractual raises, for the following contracts Albertsons - Lewiston/Clarkston (Grocery and Meat), Albertsons - Coeur d’Alene (Meat), Albertsons - Coeur d’Alene/Hayden Lake (Grocery), Albertsons - Hayden Lake (Meat), Safeway - Coeur d’Alene (Grocery and Meat), and Safeway - Pullman/Moscow (Grocery and Meat) which were scheduled to take effect on October 12, 2025, and reflect on your paycheck of Oct 24, 2025, have not yet been implemented.
On October 16, we ratified new contracts for UFCW 3000 grocery stores in Skagit, Island, and Whatcom Counties at Safeway, Haggen, Fred Meyer, and Albertsons/Safeway, and Saar’s Grocery in Oak Harbor.

If you are experiencing one of these workplace issues, our MRC Representatives will work with you on a plan of action. When we fight together, we win! UFCW 3000 Member Resource Center: 866-210-3000
