Macy’s - Downtown Closure Bargaining Update 2/14/20
/
Today we met with the employer with our bargaining director in attendance. Macy’s has not moved from their original proposal and has given us their last, best, and final proposal that is less than the Northgate and Everett agreements:
Cap on severance at 26 weeks—Northgate/Everett severance was capped at 52 weeks
Macy’s is only willing to cover the employer portion of COBRA for 3 months—Macy’s paid 100% of COBRA for 3 months at Northgate/Everett
We’re meeting with our legal team to explore all options to secure a fair severance for the Downtown Macy’s workers.
If you have questions, please contact your union representative, Regan McBride, at 206-436-6579
In Solidarity, your Member Bargaining Team, Susan Hedman, Patrick Keating
