On June 17, 2026 Town & Country informed our Union that they would be discontinuing the eCommerce department at their worksites. In that notice, they neglected to inform our Union that they would then outsource that department to Instacart to do picking and staging of products for customers; something we found out by members reaching out to their Union Representatives after hearing it from management. Following a contentious meeting with Town & Country representatives, where they attempted to convince Union Representatives that outsourcing work is necessary to the business, our Union filed a grievance. Outsourcing is a direct violation of the Bargaining Unit recognition language of our Union Contract.  

After months of bargaining with Rosauers for a new contract in Spokane, we won the ability for you to join your new Union family at UFCW 3000. Your new Union contract includes several workplace protections, as well as increased wages, sick leave, bereavement leave, and vacation!

After meeting with the Employer in June, our Bargaining Team is pleased to announce that we reached a tentative agreement with Payless Foods on a new collective bargaining agreement as of July 2.

After eight months of bargaining, sticker-ups, button-ups, leaflets at our stores, dozens of Contract Action Team meetings, and a massively successful info picket — all to reclaim our co-op for the workers and members who built it — your Bargaining Team reached a Tentative Agreement and recommends a YES vote to accept the proposal from PCC

Over the last several months, we’ve stickered up, buttoned up, leafleted our stores, attended dozens of Contract Action Team meetings, and educated our customers and coworkers at a massive info picket — all to reclaim our co-op for the workers and members who built it. 

And now, after bargaining into the wee hours of the morning on June 11, our worker-elected, member-led Bargaining Team has reached a tentative agreement with PCC. 

Tuesday, June 23 from 3pm to 4pm & 6pm to 7pm at the UFCW 3000 Yakima Office: 507 S 3rd St Yakima WA 98901

Our member-led Bargaining Team returned to the table on May 26 with a mediator, which PCC requested, and we still have NO DEAL!

“The Employer says they won’t offer backpay unless our demands are reasonable. There is nothing reasonable about asking your staff to lowball their own worth.” — Connor Burk, Central District PCC

Let’s get together and talk about what you want to see in the next contract!

Now it is our turn to vote! Our union member-led Bargaining Team reached a tentative agreement and recommends a YES vote to accept the Employer’s proposal.

Congratulations to all our 2026 union scholarship recipients! Scholarships are reviewed and awarded yearly by our UFCW 3000 Scholarship Committee made up of rank-and-file members from our Executive Board.

“After 16 sessions, our employer still refuses to offer backpay and support for our Helper Clerks both inside and outside of Seattle. We all deserve to be paid for our work, and all of us deserve a wage increase, regardless of position. Your Bargaining Team remains dedicated to winning fair and more equitable wages.” —Dan Polking, Fremont

Join your coworkers to prepare for upcoming negotiations and how to win a fair contract!

On April 27, our new Meat contract was ratified! On a great day of voting, Meat workers overwhelmingly ratified a contract that highlights the value that Union workers bring to Uwajimaya.

Through months of negotiations and direct actions like leafleting, our Union Bargaining Team reached a tentative agreement with Uwajimaya. Our tentative agreement gives us higher than market raises for Journeyperson wage increases, secures our pension & healthcare and makes improvements to benefits such as vacation and sick leave.

Our Bargaining Team is excited to have reached a tentative agreement with Uwajimaya on April 10. We entered negotiations with Uwajimaya independently for the first time with the goal of getting a contract that reflects the value we provide as Union workers. After 3 months of negotiating, we have achieved that goal.

Our workplace actions have given us momentum and have captured the PCC’s attention, but their sluggishness at the table tells us we need to get louder. That’s why we scheduled an Informational Picket on Wednesday, April 15. Together, we’ll show PCC’s administrators how ready we are to fight for the contract we deserve.

Let’s get together and talk about what you want to see in the next contract!

On March 10, our rank-and-file Bargaining Team met with PCC to try to reach a deal. We were prepared to bargain all night, but we left disappointed when PCC failed to present us with a full, comprehensive proposal.  

Join your coworkers to prepare for upcoming negotiations and how to win a fair contract! If you have any questions, please call your Union Representative.

We want to strengthen worker democracy at our co-op, but PCC wants to eliminate the Worker Caucus Committee (WCC) and only extend our Labor Management Committee (LMC) by another contract cycle, which would weaken our voice.

On Feb 13, our member-led Bargaining Team returned to the table to fight for better wages, more hours, and other policies we need to uphold our co-op values.

We made some progress, reaching a Tentative Agreement with PCC that gives Helper Clerks top priority for promotions to Clerk positions.

Join your coworkers to prepare for upcoming negotiations and how to win a fair contract! If you have any questions, please call your Union Representative.
