Central Co-Op - Hazard Pay Update

The momentum of Seattle City Council passing the Hazard Pay Ordinance for large grocers inspired workers at smaller employers to organize. Central Coop Union members acted collectively and demanded that Central Coop reinstate hazard pay. 

While we hoped that co-op leadership would have matched the pay mandated in the Seattle law, they knew they had to respond to us. Central Coop members are frontline workers and deserve this pay! 

By wearing buttons, we created visibility with the public and by collecting signatures from our coworkers we ensured that the Co-op would step up to the plate and do what is right.

Central Coop members won $2.00 an hour in hazard pay, taking effect on February 10 with no expiration date.

When we fight, we WIN!
