Summit Pacific Medical Center - Tentative Agreement Reached—Bargaining Team Unanimously Recommends a YES Vote!
/After close to a year of bargaining, we have finally reached a recommended tentative agreement on a contract with UFCW21. Thank you for all of your support throughout this process. All that remains is the final step of voting.
For our first contract (3 year duration) we won:
Respectful wage increases each year of the contract
Increases to many premiums, and new premiums for some job classifications
Just Cause and a fair grievance procedure to handle contract disputes
Creation of a Labor Management Committee to address ongoing issues in between bargaining cycles
Clear, enforceable definitions of practices for seniority, pay, scheduling, hours, leaves, and more
The right to join and participate in your union free from retaliation
Details of the agreement will be available as we finalize our documents. A vote announcement with details of time, date, and location will also be out soon via email and on our website, www.ufcw21.org.
