Safeway Meat Warehouse - Some Early Progress in Bargaining

On Tuesday your Union bargaining committee met with Albertsons/Safeway management for the first time to bargain the new Union contract. We made early progress with getting tentative agreements to:

Add new language limiting the amount of time that the Employer has to discipline members (10 working days)

Changing Funeral Leave to Bereavement Leave, which allows people to mourn without having to go to the funeral. This is important when family members live far away, or there isn’t formal funeral services.

But we still have big issues, in fact the big issues, ahead of us. We need to stand together as we bargain over our wages, healthcare, and retirement program. 

“We made some early progress. But make no mistake, we all need to focus on the total economic package, especially our wages!”
