On October 7, the Providence Centralia Techs unanimously approved their first contract! About fifteen months after organizing, we were able to obtain a great first contract with competitive wage increases and job protections.

Our next step is for both parties to sign the contract, which usually takes one to two months. Then we will distribute paper copies of the contract and post it on our website at: ufcw21.org.

Your new wage increases will go into effect the first full pay period following October 7.

If you have any workplace or disciplinary issues, please reach out to your Union Rep Erin McCoy, 206-436-6598 (landline), or the Membership Resource Center, 206-436-6570.

You can find more information about your Union rights, Shop Steward training, free college, Union discounts, and how to sign a Union membership application at: ufcw21.org/new-members.

Welcome to UFCW 21, PCH Techs, and congratulations on winning your first contract!

Bargaining Team: Jennifer Frunz, Kathy Spencer, Jennifer Mullins
