Help keep our grocery store workers, customers, and communities safe.

Grocery store workers have shown up on the front lines of the COVID pandemic to keep our communities fed and supplied during this difficult and dangerous time. We’ve also been on the front line of the fight for COVID safety, speaking up about crowding, mask-wearing, lines, sanitation, and more, fighting to make our stores safe place to work and shop.

Now we’re asking for support from our customers and community. Unfortunately, not every store is following all the protocols to keep workers and customers safe. We have filed complaints, written petitions, and rallied together. Now, as the grocery store workers’ union, we are calling on the community to help us hold these companies accountable for our safety and yours by filling out a brief report about your shopping experience.

Click “File a Safety Report” below to get a digital form with questions about safety at your store that you can fill out on your phone or computer as you shop or when you get home. Click “Print the Safety Report” to get a printable version you can bring with you to the store, and you can send us a picture of your form once you’re done. We’ve also provided a link to the state’s COVID compliance reporting form that goes directly to state regulators. You can fill that out as well if you like!

Let us know if your neighborhood grocery store is following safety protocols and keeping workers and the community safe.

We wanted to let our customers and community know: As grocery store workers, we are proud of the work we do every day to get people the food and supplies they need. But our jobs have become more demanding, dangerous, and stressful during the COVID-19 pandemic. We're exposed to hundreds or thousands of people each week, which means an elevated risk of bringing COVID home to our loved ones. We need safe staffing levels, enforcement of COVID protocols, and pay commensurate with the work we do and the risks we face.

If you have questions, pictures of long lines or crowds, or information to share about worker, customer, and community safety, you can email us directly at grocerystorereport@ufcw21.org.
